Liz Gateley, executive vice president and head of programming for Lifetime, previously spoke about the show’s pilot.
She said: "We’re really taking big swings at Lifetime and developing content that redefines what it means to be a Lifetime show. ‘A Midsummer’s Nightmare’ is unlike anything Lifetime has ever done before."
Courtney is no stranger to acting roles. In recent years, she starred in ‘Sons of Anarchy’, ‘Revenge’ and ‘Empire’. She also received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in 1996’s ‘The People vs. Larry Flynt’ in which she played stripper, Althea Leasure Flynt.
