Lifetime Has Rescheduled The Bad Seed Returns Premiere
On Wednesday, Lifetime went to Twitter to announce that they have rescheduled the premiere of The Bad Seed Returns. It will air on Labor Day. That is Monday, September 5, at 8 p.m., Eastern.
Originally, The Bad Seed Returns was scheduled to premiere on Monday, May 30. However, they chose to postpone it due to a tragedy. What happened?
Why Did Lifetime Postpone The Bad Seed Returns?
Lifetime chose to postpone the premiere of The Bad Seed Returns due to the tragedy in Uvalde. On May 26, McKenna Grace went to Twitter to explain why they chose to delay the premiere.
I don’t feel comfortable promoting this film this week and we don’t think Monday is the right time to release it.
I was in 1st grade when Sandy Hook happened…and it feels like not much has changed since then. I remember my parents teaching me emergency action plans for going to church or the movies.
if you have power, change something. If you have the means, donate to the victim’s families of any of the recent shootings. I feel sick and heartbroken over these tragedies. www.jedcares.org is a great resource if you are feeling anxious or depressed. If you’re feeling helpless or lie you want to do something but don’t know where to start, I found every town.org to be really informational.
