Easter Lives Here During the Network’s Easter Celebration Focusing on UPlifting, Affirming Movies and the U.S. Television Premiere of In-Lawfully Yours Starring Chelsey Crisp & Marilu Henner
Atlanta – March 26, 2020 – UPtv, the television home for Uplifting entertainment, will be doubling-down on this commitment with beloved movies celebrating Easter. Beginning Saturday, April 4, UPtv’s Easter celebration starts with a book-to-movie marathon, contemporary faith-affirming films and inspiring biblical stories, capping it off with the U.S. television premiere of In-Lawfully Yours on Easter Sunday, April 12.
UPtv will exclusively air the blockbuster The Passion of the Christ on Palm Sunday, April 5 at 7 p.m. ET and on Good Friday, April 10 at 9 p.m. ET; and hit theatrical films including God’s Not Dead, April 5 & 11; Courageous, April 5 & 11; The Healer April 11 & 12; War Room April 5 and Heaven is for Real April 11.
UPtv’s Easter event kicks off the season with a book-to-movie marathon based off of Janette Oke’s best-selling novels beginning with Love Takes Wing on April 4 at 3 p.m ET. This year’s celebration culminates in the U.S. television premiere of In-Lawfully Yours. In the film, a fun-loving woman from New York City moves to a small town to help her recently widowed ex-mother-in-law. Her personality clashes with the locals, and when she goes public with her new relationship with the pastor, the town rallies to kick her out. But will divine intervention keep them together? The movie stars Chelsey Crisp (Fresh Off the Boat), Marilu Henner (Taxi, L.A. Story), Joe Williamson (Grey’s Anatomy), Corbin Bernsen (Psych), and Phillip Boyd (The Haves and the Have Nots).
“As the home for uplifting programming, we can’t think of a better time than now to celebrate feel-good films, and inspiring biblical stories. In-Lawfully Yours is a perfect way to cap-off Easter Sunday with the entire family,” said Hector Campos, VP of Content Strategy.
