Last Updated on July 31, 2021

The James Franco-produced remake of notorious cult classic MOTHER, MAY I SLEEP WITH DANGER? was recently revealed to be a reboot featuring lesbian vampires. Yeah. That happened. To prove this isn't all a joke, there's now an official trailer for the TV movie (which airs tomorrow, so set up your recordings now). It's… It's really something. Check it out below, if you dare.

When theater major Leah brings home the special someone in her life to meet her mom, Julie, the family is met with a surprise when Pearl comes to the door. Julie tries to embrace the idea of Leah’s new love interest, but she can’t shake the feeling that something is very wrong. Julie’s suspicions lead to a startling discovery about Pearl that puts Leah in serious danger. Will Julie be able to save her daughter from an eternity of heartache before it’s too late?

Leah is played by Leila George (THE LONG HOME), Julie is played by Tori Spelling (who also starred in the original film, but is playing a different character), and Pearl is played by Emily Meade (Broad City). They are joined by original cast member Ivan Sergei as well as Nick Eversman (WILD).

The TV movie airs on Lifetime on June 18th, celebrating the original film's 20th anniversary. It was directed by Melanie Aitkenhead from a script by Amber Coney.
