No one knows over-the-top adoption drama more than Will Ferrell and
Kristen Wiig, so the duo teamed up to star in a made-for-TV Lifetime
film. But when news of the "top-secret" project leaked, the comedians
killed it.
No, this is not a belated April Fools' joke.
Announcing the project's cancellation Thursday, Wiig and Ferrell, who
is also serving as executive producer, said in a statement they were
disappointed that the project was no longer under wraps.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed earlier Thursday that the actors secretly filmed A Deadly Adoption.
Lifetime confirmed the clandestine movie, which seemed like a natural
fit for the network, but did not immediately comment on the project's
abrupt end.
The film was to center on a successful couple (Ferrell and Wiig)
caring for a pregnant woman in hopes of adopting her child — with a
catch.
The movie, described as "campy and fun" by THR, had already been taped, according to Lifetime, and was set to air this summer.
