Lifetime touts that titles under the banner “follow the tradition of delivering elevated romance grounded in emotional, authentic love stories, anchored by powerhouse talent and compelling storytelling.”

Faith & Forgiveness: A Duck Dynasty Love Story
Starring Haley Ramm, Luke Benward and Mary Hollis Inboden
Premieres May 16 at 8/7c
Faith & Forgiveness: A Duck Dynasty Love Story is based on a powerful true story about a love tested, broken, and ultimately rebuilt. Starring Ramm and Benward, the movie follows two people finding their way back to each other, discovering that real love isn’t perfect… It’s a choice made every single day.
Lisa and Al Robertson, known from Duck Dynasty, fell hard and fast, believing they had found a once-in-a-lifetime love. But over time, the life they imagined together is strained by betrayal and the weight of unspoken pain. What began as a deep connection slowly fractures, leaving them both lost and searching for something more.
When the truth finally comes to light, Lisa is forced to confront everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and herself. With their marriage and faith hanging by a thread, both must decide if love is worth fighting for, and what it truly means to forgive.
Emily Moss Wilson directs from a script written by Andrea Nasfell.

Devoted to her family and her high-risk career, she’s reluctant to open her heart again — until she meets Shawn Willis (Johnson), a quiet, steadfast rescue specialist with a past of his own.
Astheir connection deepens into something real and healing, they are forced to confront grief and fear — and discover whether they have the courage to choose love again.
The movie is executive produced by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black and is inspired by their duet of the same name. Written by Black, the ACM Award-winning hit spent multiple weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country chart and reached #31 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Kramer (Gaslit by My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story) and Johnson (The Young and the Restless) star alongside John Schneider (The Dukes of Hazzard) and Charlene Tilton (Dallas) in the heartfelt romantic drama directed and co-written by Duff (7th Heaven).
The film follows a driven Los Angeles real estate agent whose life takes an unexpected turn to Kentucky and leads him to a love he never saw coming.
When Nick (Johnson) unexpectedly inherits a dozen racehorses in rural Kentucky, his carefully mapped-out future is suddenly uncertain. Far from the fast pace of Los Angeles, he meets Charlie (Kramer), a dedicated horse trainer whose deep connection to the animals and the life she’s built around them challenges everything he thought mattered.
As Charlie introduces Nick to a slower, more meaningful way of life, an undeniable bond begins to grow. But with his old life waiting back home, Nick must decide if he’s willing to risk everything for a second chance at happiness and a love that just might change him for good. The movie also stars Alex Barone and Jessica Szohr.
Duff directs from a screenplay she co-wrote with David Stever, Scotty Mullen and Henry Zahn.
