EXCLUSIVE: Tia Mowry (Family Reunion, The Game) is reuniting with Lifetime as the star and executive producer of the new movie Single Black Tenant, which will premiere on June 27 at 8/7c as part of the network’s Ripped From The Headlines slate.

Inspired by actual events, Single Black Tenant centers on Esme Williams (Mowry), who, after years of scraping by, finally believes her luck has turned after landing an affordable apartment in a quiet Cleveland neighborhood. But her relief quickly gives way to fear when she begins to suspect she’s living with a killer who is trying to frame her for murder.

As disturbing clues pile up, including her landlord Angie’s increasingly erratic behavior and the discovery of blood-soaked rags in a vacant upstairs unit, Esme starts to believe Angie may have killed the real landlord and is setting her up as the scapegoat. With the police refusing to step in, Esme takes matters into her own hands, obsessively piecing together evidence until the truth can no longer be ignored.

Mowry has previously collaborated with Lifetime on a slew of titles, including multiple holiday films. Most recently, she starred in and executive produced A Very Merry Beauty Salon for the network in 2024.

Single Black Tenant is produced by Bruce Harvey for CMW Mountain Productions Inc. in association with Studio TF1 America. Timothy O. Johnson, Laurie Pozmantier, Stacy Mandelberg, and Mowry serve as executive producers. Stacey N. Harding directs from a script written by Yuri Baranovsky and Angela Gulner.

Mowry is repped by UTA, Vault Entertainment, and Toczek, Suddleson.
