Lifetime has announced a two-picture deal collaboration with Sarah Drew!  The former “Grey’s Anatomy” star is set to star, write and executive produce holiday films, which will be part of the network’s iconic It’s a Wonderful Lifetime annual programming slate.

One of the films, “Reindeer Games,“ was born from an original script by Drew and follows a fading Hollywood star who returns to his small tight knit hometown post breakup. He’s begrudgingly roped into the town’s holiday fundraising tradition, “The Reindeer Games,” but when he surprisingly falls for (and is competing against) a former classmate he ignored in high school who’s determined to beat him at all costs, he must win the game and win her heart as well.

“I’ve absolutely loved working with Lifetime over the past few years and couldn’t be more thrilled to continue my relationship with them as an actor and now as a writer and producer as well. I’m delighted to announce my screen-writing debut with ‘Reindeer Games,’ a romantic comedy about love, loss, and the importance of true community. I’m looking forward to working with Lifetime to bring more stories like this to life”, Drew said in a statement.

In additional to the Christmas films, Drew will also star in “Stolen Hearts: The Lizbeth Meredith Story” (working title).  We can’t wait to watch her next holiday film with Lifetime; she previously starred in 2019’s “Twinkle All the Way” and “Christmas Pen Pals” in 2018.

Stay Merry,
