A chilling new Lifetime movie, “Murder on Maple Drive”, premiered last night at 8 PM EST. The film follows a married couple who buy the house of their dreams at a discounted price.
Situated in an upper-class neighborhood, the house is on sale for a reason: a murder-suicide occurred there. But the past is the past, right? Not exactly. The new homeowners begin to suspect that their new friend and neighbor may have been involved in the murders.
Many Lifetime movies are based upon real events. This is not the case with “Murder on Maple Drive.” However, it poses some very real questions. Would you live in a house where something horrible happened? And how well can you really know your neighbors?
Here’s what you need to know about the film and where to watch it in case you missed last night’s premiere.

Bea Santos and Sebastian Roberts play the unsuspecting married couple who move onto Maple Drive. Santos’s other television credits include “The Hardy Boys” and “Murdoch Mysteries.” Roberts was recently seen in the Lifetime movie “Left for Dead: The Ashley Reeves Story.”
