There’s been a lot of talk lately of the thrilling made-for-TV movies that the Lifetime Network has been producing, and tonight, fans can check out one of their best! Sea Change, Lifetime’s latest, is one scintillating new lifetime flick to look out for on the network. But before we get into the movie, let’s take a look at the Sea Change cast and story.
Sea Change is based on the 2009 young adult novel of the same name, written by Aimee Friedman. The novel has now been adapted onto the small screen and will be airing on the Lifetime channel, tonight (Sunday, September 17) at 8:00 p.m. EST. Before we see the cast of Sea Change take the screen, here is everything you need to know about the story behind this exciting made-for-TV movie!
The Story
Set in Maine, but filmed off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, Sea Change is a supernatural teen drama that, according to Aimee Friedman, only slightly deviates from its source material. Earlier in 2016, it was being considered to be made into a Sea Change series, but it seems the pilot never took off. Regardless, fans are just as happy to see it adapted into a Lifetime film.
Sea Change is about a teenaged girl named Miranda Merchant, who’s going through a tough time in life. Her father is deceased, she’s estranged from her mother, and there’s some serious tension brewing between herself, her boyfriend (soon-to-be-ex), and her best friend. Needless to say, all of this drama warrants a little rest and relaxation time for the 16-year-old as she escapes to Selkie Island, where her mother lives. Miranda decides to take some time off from her life and try to reconnect with her mother, Amelia, and get to know more about her family history and the small seaside town in which her mother resides. The deeper her scientifically inquisitive mind delves into her newfound hobby, the more inexplicable phenomena she discovers. And on top of all of that, she finds herself the subject of a love triangle between two irresistible boys: TJ, the heir to an old family fortune on the island, and Leo, a working-class bad boy with a mysterious past. All of this takes place amidst emerging urban legends about mythical creatures called ‘Sea Walkers’ and Miranda’s possible family connection to them.
