‘Killing the Competition’: How to watch, where to stream free

Lifetime’s all new drama movie, Killing the Competition, premieres Saturday, March 1 at 9/8c.

This Lifetime original movie follows Elizabeth Fenwick (Melissa Joan Hart), a loving mother in her forties who loves reliving her glory days by envisioning herself as the star dancer and high school prom queen she once was.

After returning to her hometown with children and husband Steve (Eddie Mills) in tow, Elizabeth pushes her daughter Grace (Lily Brooks O’Briant) to try out for her high school’s competitive dance team. Grace fails to make the team, which sends her mother into a blind rage that results in an obsession with one of the dance team’s star members.
