Andrews Dawn Cutler Series, following the dark and twisted history of the Cutler, Longchamp, and Booth families. Brec Bassinger (<em>Stargirl, Bella, and the Bulldogs<\/em>) takes on the title role of Dawn Longchamp and will be joined by Emmy winner Donna Mills (<em>Nope, General Hospital, Knots Landing<\/em>) as Lillian Cutler. Also set to star in the new movie event are Joey McIntyre (<em>New Kids on the Block<\/em>) as Michael Sutton, Jesse Metcalfe (<em>Desperate Housewives<\/em>) as Ormand Longchamp, Khobe Clarke (<em>Yellowjackets, An Amish Sin<\/em>) as Jimmy Longchamp, and Emmy nominee Fran Drescher as Agnes Morris. As the exclusive home of movies inspired by books from the best-selling author V.C. Andrews, Lifetime brings to television the Dawn Cutler novels&#8212;<em>Dawn, Secrets of the Morning, Twilight&#8217;s Child<\/em>, and <em>Midnight Whispers<\/em>&#8212;with more casting news to come. The final novel of the series, <em>Darkest Hour<\/em>, is currently in development.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular authors of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QQ7N0C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">V.C. Andrews<\/a> launched a pop culture sensation with the gothic tale Flowers in the Attic and The Dawn Cutler novels have captivated readers for decades. The first movie in the series, Dawn, follows the story of Dawn Longchamp (Bassinger), who after growing up in humble surroundings with a very hardworking and loving family suddenly has everything she loves ripped away from her when she is thrust into a new family whose dark and twisted secrets change the course of her life forever. As Dawn struggles to fit in, her wicked grandmother Lillian Cutler (Mills) rules her life with an iron fist and inflicts cruel punishments when Dawn does not follow her strict orders. When Dawn finds herself entrenched in the mysteries surrounding the family, it becomes clear that a dark and unescapable curse looms over the Cutlers.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3897784994\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>McIntyre stars as Dawn&#8217;s infamous singing teacher and Broadway star, Michael Sutton, while Drescher stars as Agnes Morris, the out of work actress and overly made up drama queen who is the house mother at the performing arts school where Dawn resides.
