The psychological drama “The Bad Orphan” is set to premiere on Lifetime on Saturday, June 22 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. This gripping film, inspired by a true story, revolves around a married couple who adopt an 8-year-old orphan with special needs. Their dreams of a perfect family are shattered as they uncover unsettling truths about their new daughter, Gabby, leading to a series of disturbing events that threaten their family dynamic.
Starring Betsy Brandt, Chloe Coco Chapman, Mark Taylor, and Eve Edwards, “The Bad Orphan” draws inspiration from the real-life case of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born orphan with dwarfism who was adopted and later accused of being an adult by her adoptive parents.
