Mark your calendars, Eve fans — Freeform has finally set an official premiere date for Life-Size 2 starring Tyra Banks as the fashion doll come to life!
In a press release sent out Friday (October 12), Freeform revealed that Life-Size 2 will officially close out the first weekend of the network’s annual 25 Days of Christmas programming.
The highly anticipated sequel, which finds Tyra Banks reprising her role as Eve (a fashion doll who miraculously comes to life) will premiere via the network on Sunday, December 2.
The sequel is coming along nearly two decades after the original Life-Size made its grand debut. The beloved made-for-TV movie found Banks starring opposite a young Lindsay Lohan as a doll that comes to life in an effort to help Lohan’s Casey cope with losing her mother.
Eve is back to help in the sequel, only this time she’ll be setting her sights on helping a 20-something CEO named Grace Manning.
Played by Secret Life of the American Teenager alum Francia Raisa, Grace happens to be the CEO of Marathon Toys — a company started by her mother that also happens to be famous for manufacturing the iconic Eve doll.
“Grace is in the middle of her quarter-life crisis, realizing she’s in over her head as CEO,” reads the official synopsis for the movie. “To make matters worse, her wild-child ways are causing the company’s stock to plummet. With the help of her young next-door neighbor, Grace’s old Eve doll magically awakens to help get Grace back on track and give her the confidence to be the woman and leader Eve knows Grace can be.”
It sounds as though Eve is going to have her work cut out for her yet again, but if there’s one thing we learned from the original Life-Size, its that Eve doesn’t give up when the going gets tough!
In addition to announcing the release date, the network also unveiled the official poster for Life-Size 2, which features Banks as Eve, front and center.
Life-Size 2 premieres as part of Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas programming on Sunday, December 2 at 9 p.m. EST.
