In the new trailer for Lifetime’s Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story, Grammy-winning singer Erica Campbell warns of the dangers of having too much pride.

“Don’t let pride destroy what destiny has ordained,” she says. Campbell plays “Pastor Trey” in the film. She’s joined in the cast by fellow Grammy winner Stephanie Mills as bakery owner and reality TV star “Birdie Moore.”

The film is based on real events and follows Birdie as her world starts to crumble when her family’s secrets  bubble to the surface.

The cast also includes Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles (Ready to Love), Keeya King (Yellowjackets), Lucia Walters (Virgin River), and Jaime M. Callica (Ruthless).

“To salvage her legacy, Birdie must let go of the pride that estranged her from her daughter. Birdie’s pride also prevents her from seeing that her son Gabe Moore (Thomas Miles) is actually a thieving opportunist and that her granddaughter Ella Boudreaux (Keeya King) is just a lost twenty-something trying to build up her life after some missteps,” per Lifetime’s description.

The film is the fifth installment in Lifetime’s Seven Deadly Sins franchise, all inspired by novels from author Victoria Christopher Murray, who is a consulting producer on Pride. The previous movies — Lust, Envy, Wrath and Greed — attracted close to 7 million total viewers in 2022.

Keri Hilson starred in the first film titled Lust: A Seven Deadly Sins Saga. The second movie, Envy: A Seven Deadly Sins Saga starred Serayah, Rose Rollins, and Kandi Burruss. The third film, Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story featured Michelle Williams and Romeo Miller. The fourth movie Greed: A Seven Deadly Sins Story starred Monique Coleman, as previously reported.

The fifth installment of the franchise is produced by Neshama Entertainment, T.D. Jakes Enterprises, DNA Media Group and RobinHood Productions in association with MarVista Entertainment.

Troy Scott directs from a script written by Felicia Brooker. The film’s executive producers include T.D. Jakes, Derrick Williams, and Shaun Robinson along with Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew for MarVista Entertainment, Arnie Zipursky and Suzanne Berger for Neshama. Ray Chew is the movie’s music composer
