​Truly, the Love After saga on We TV, has offered up supremely positive and unique perspectives regarding couples that enter into an incredibly unique and difficult type of relationship. For it is not easy to build a relationship when one’s better half is behind bars or adjusting to life after prison. But these couples do their best to try and make it work. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they are not. But this series makes sure to showcase the ups and the downs of this type of relationship, and now the franchise is preparing to explore even more, as evidenced by today’s announcement.
​
Because earlier today, We TV let it be known, that they are now going to look at the entire picture for the individuals featured in this saga. Because we don’t always hear about how they found their way into jail, nor do we get any information on who they were before we meet them, and what motivated their crimes. But Love After Lockup: Crime Story will indeed cover that, and to give us an idea of how comprehensive this limited series will be, We TV was kind enough to release details on the show, along with a trailer and key art. Which we will share with you now, as we prepare to uncover the whole story from this epic new series.

‘We TV today released a trailer for the new, highly anticipated limited series, Love After Lockup: Crime Story, premiering on Friday, February 7th at 8pm ET/PT / 7pm CT and streaming exclusively on popular AMC streaming service ALLBLK.

In this new series, Love After Lockup cast favorites from the past and present reveal what led them to a life of crime and landed them behind bars. We have seen them walk out of prison gates and into the arms of loved ones, but who were they before prison? In-depth interviews provide a no-holds-barred look at the pre-prison life of the franchise’s most loved and not so notorious characters, as they return to the scene of the crime, reflect on their origin stories and discuss how far they have come. We know their LOVE story; this is their CRIME story.

MEET THE CAST:

Lindsey has always been smart, in school and on the streets. As a big-time drug dealer, Lindsey had it all - money, houses, cars and even two nannies as a teen-mom. But she lost it all and learnt a very valuable lesson – there really are no shortcuts in life! Lindsey now must relay that lesson to her teenage daughter, Miley Grace.

Garrett (Tampa, FL)
Garrett explains how drug use took him down a dark road in his teens, leading to a revolving door of arrests and a lengthy criminal record.

Brittany (Las Vegas, NV)
As a 14-year-old, Brittany was separated from her older sister Sarah and left on her own in Vegas to fend for herself and turned to a much older man for protection.

Brittany reunites with her sister and shares how this defining moment changed her life.

Cameron (Cincinnati, OH & Tampa, FL)
Cameron has never followed the rules, his cheeky personality has always had his family worried about where he would end up. As a teen, Cameron was cashing fake checks into his personal bank account for a year, before being arrested.

Today, Cameron contends with how his past actions impact the way he lives his life as a family man today.

Lizzie (Portage, WI)
In 2006, Lizzie had her 8th DUI (the famous one with the sexy mugshot) and was awaiting sentencing. She flew to California for one last party with her friend Krista before being sent to prison for the first time. Hours after landing in California, Lizzie got arrested again, this time for running over a man’s foot while driving. Lizzie never knew who the man was, and her friend Krista didn’t stick around to find out. Lizzie hasn’t seen Krista since and wants to track her down and see how her life turned out.

Eventually, Michael started selling drugs and giving all the profits to his mom. It was a quicker cash grab than working at the grocery store. Michael always wanted to support his family, but in the process – he landed himself in big trouble.

Destinie (Redding, CA)

Now Amber will face her demons and learn why she allows her friendships to rule her life, time and time again.

Mikey (Richwood, OH)
