Singer and actress LeToya Luckett is starring in a new Lifetime film.
Luckett is taking the lead in The Millwood Murders: Buried Truth, premiering Sunday, January 25, 2026 on Lifetime. Luckett stars alongside Rainbow Sun Francks and Amanda Thamage, anchoring a story rooted in themes of motherhood, justice, and the emotional cost of certainty in a flawed system.
Per BlexMedia, the film centers a prosecutor whose personal and professional lives collide in devastating ways. After testifying against her husband and helping send him to death row, she believes justice has been served—until her daughter suddenly disappears just days before his scheduled execution. As panic sets in, new evidence forces her to confront a terrifying possibility: the real murderer may still be at large.
The Millwood Murders follows LeToya’s run of Lifetime acting roles. She previously starred in the 2024 thriller, I Thought My Husband’s Wife Was Dead, opposite Angela “Blac Chyna” White, Sherilyn Allen, and Jamall Johnson.
In 2022, Luckett starred in Line Sisters alongside Kierra Sheard-Kelly. In the previous year, she played in Lust: A Seven Deadly Sins Saga, which also starred fellow R&B singers Keri Hilson and Tank.
Speaking on Line Sisters, Luckett told Rated R&B, “When I was introduced to the film, and after reading the script, I felt the desire to finally get my chance to be a part of a sorority, I had to take this big chance and take this big leap.”
She continued, “There were so many different layers to this film. I felt that the scary part was yes, a big layer, but not one that I should turn away from the film. There was fun, sadness, and so many things that I could relate to. I was like, ‘Let’s do this. Let’s have fun with this.’ I’m glad I did.”
