Promo for Flowers in the Attic: The Origin (aka Garden of Shadows)
Click to viewFor those of us who read the creepy incest series Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews in middle school, Lifetime has finally decided to make Garden of Shadows into a four part limited series (they made the first four books into movies starring Heather Graham as Corrine and Kiernan Shipka/Rose McIver as Cathy in 2014 & 2015) aka now that they've sucked the Audrina/Heaven/Ruby well dry (the Dawn series is coming soon!).
Apparently they can't rely on people knowing the title of the prequel (Garden of Shadows) so the series will be called Flowers in the Attic: The Origin. It begins airing on July 9. The series tells the story of Olivia (mother of Corrine, grandmother of Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory) and the creepy ass Foxworth family.
