Lifetime brings viewers to the year 2025 with the premiere of the provocative new conspiracy thriller, “The Lottery” on Sunday, July 20, at 10PM ET/PT. Currently filming in Montreal, the series stars Marley Shelton (“Eleventh Hour”), Michael Graziadei (“American Horror Story”), David Alpay (“The Vampire Diaries”), Athena Karkanis (“Low Winter Sun”), Yul Vasquez (“Magic City”), Shelley Conn (“Terra Nova”) and Martin Donovan (“Homeland”).Set within a dystopian future driven by a global fertility crisis, The Lottery reveals a world staring down the barrel of impending extinction as women have mysteriously stopped bearing children. After years of research, Dr. Alison Lennon (Shelton) and her team remarkably fertilize 100 embryos. However, her victory is short-lived when the Director of the U.S. Fertility Commission, Darius Hayes (Donovan), takes government control of the lab and informs the President (Vasquez) of the monumental scientific breakthrough. To determine which women will carry the prized embryos to term, Chief of Staff Vanessa Keller (Karkanis) convinces the President to hold a national lottery and a battle over the control of the 100 embryos begins. Michael Graziadei stars as Kyle, a recovering alcoholic and single father of one of the last children born in the country, while David Alpay stars as James, Alison’s colleague and lab assistant. Shelley Conn portrays Gabrielle, the First Lady of the United States.“The Lottery” is written by Timothy J. Sexton (“Children of Men”), who also serves as executive producer alongside Rick Eid (“Hostages”) and Dawn Olmstead (“Prison Break”). Danny Cannon (“CSI”) directed and executive produced the pilot, which is from Grady Girl Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television. Ten one-hour episodes have been ordered for this season.
