The news was announced by Lifetime Networks in a press release, with the film scheduled to premiere on August 10 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

This intriguing film delves into the life of Youree Dell Harris, who worked at the Psychic Readers Network and found success while supporting her family in the late 1990s. According to Lifetime, this will be the first time Miss Cleo's perspective will be shared, as Harris tragically passed away in 2016 at the age of 53.
