Remy Ma stars in Lifetime’s psychological thriller “Don’t Trust the Girl Upstairs,” her first leading role in the film based on Liv Constantine’s best-selling novel.
Remy Ma steps into her biggest acting role yet in Lifetime’s new psychological thriller Don’t Trust the Girls Upstairs, premiering tonight (June 20) at 8:00 p.m.
The Grammy-nominated artist stars as Ashley Preston, a woman whose life is thrown into turmoil after she adopts her niece after her sister’s death.
The film is adapted from the novel My Sister’s Daughter by best-selling author Liv Constantine and marks Remy Ma’s first starring role in a Lifetime original film.
The psychological thriller from director David Weaver also stars Ariel Prepetit, Nathan Witt, Aliyah Marks and Sasha Rojian.
The plot follows Ashley as she attempts to start a new life by welcoming her niece into her home. What begins as an act of compassion soon turns into a nightmare filled with suspicion and danger.
With her husband and two children already at home, the arrival of her sister’s daughter sets off a series of disturbing events that make everyone question who can be trusted.
“Things are starting to get crazy at home. I don’t want to tell too much because you have to tune in. I never invite family over,” Remima explained on “New York Life.”
Remy Ma threw himself into the production and even performed his own stunts.
“I had a stuntman, but I did like two of my own scenes. It was like a drowning scene. I’d been waiting to release it since last year because no one would believe it was actually me. Halfway through I was like ‘Oh, this is easy,'” she said.
The experience on set was extremely positive for the two-time Grammy-nominated artist.
“I had so much fun making this movie. It’s such an honor to be able to do something other than music and to be here and have people like your movie come out,” Remyma shared.
This marks MaRemi’s return to Lifetime after starring in 2023’s The Girl in the Closet.
The film was produced by Navid Soofi and Rohm for Studio TF1 America.
Liv Constantine’s original book has proven popular with audiences, and the adaptation of the psychological thriller has delighted television audiences across the country.
