About ‘Deadly Due Date’
The Deadly Due Date trailer looks promising. Diane, the mother of Bill, accuses Rachel of deliberately setting fire to kill them. In reality, it was set up by Claire, who just entered the couple’s life, promising them a baby.
As the movie's storyline goes, one possibility is that Claire and Bill had an affair as teenagers and the former now wants to have a family with him. Only time will tell whether this theory proves accurate.
Deadly Due Date premieres on Lifetime Friday, October 29, at 8.00 pm.
