Lizzie Borden Took an Axe was such a huge hit for Lifetime that the network is bringing it back as a limited series. The telemovie ended with her acquittal, and Lizzie Borden: The Fall River Chronicles will be a fictionalized look at her life after that with her sister in their new home. The press release describes the follow-up as, “when numerous people close to Lizzie – ranging from her half-brother to Broadway luminaries and the head of the criminal underworld — start to mysteriously die under brutal and strange circumstances, legendary Pinkerton detective Charlie Siringo (Cole Hauser) becomes determined to prove her involvement in their ultimate demise.”
Christina Ricci and Clea Duvall will reprise their roles in this 6 episode drama that will debut some time next year.
I hope that this the show is successful and done well because I would like to see Lifetime do more follow-ups to other real life stories that captivated us all. Imagine the possibilities.
