A babymoon is supposed to be a relaxing pre-birth break, but it looks set to take on a very different meaning on You're Not Supposed to Be Here.
The Lifetime movie will debut on Saturday, November 4, at 8/7c, and the first trailer is insane.
Chrishell Stause stars opposite Diora Baird, with the pair playing a couple whose babymoon to a remote mountain town is anything but peaceful.
The movie came from a concept by Lauren Caster, who won The WrapWomen and Lifetime PitchFest for Emerging Female Filmmakers in 2021 as part of Lifetime's Broader Focus initiative that supports female creatives.
"When pregnant lesbian couple Zoe and Kennedy struggle with the stress of work and family life, Kennedy's boss offers them a cabin getaway in the woods," the logline teases.
"When they arrive at the beautiful cabin located in a remote mountain town, the locals aren't all overly welcoming," Lifetime adds.

Lies are a dime a dozen in The Challenge house and sometimes those lies can destroy real-life friendships.
Before we get into Wednesday’s major blindside, we see a conversation Chris has with some of the Survivor women. There’s still a big divide between the group — most notably between Chris, and Chanelle and Michaela. Despite the fact that they’re now having open communication about rebuilding trust, the jury’s still out on whether the former castaways can actually mend their broken fences.

Adam Driver has a movie critic living at home.
While appearing on Thursday night’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers”, the 39-year-old Academy Award nominee admitted that his 6-year-old son isn’t a massive fan of watching his new movie “65” or anyone else’s for that matter.
Driver explained that one big reason he signed onto his new movie “65”, which features a lot of dinosaurs and laser guns because his son was so into dinosaurs while they were quarantining during the Covid-19 lockdowns.

An Avengers: Endgame deleted scene could prove that a popular theory about the villain Thanos (Josh Brolin) has been true all along.
The clip, which you can watch on streaming service Disney Plus, is an alternate version of a conversation between Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) featured in the film.
Swinton’s character can be seen telling Hulk that removing an Infinity Stone creates a new timeline. However, she then goes on to reveal something that was omitted from the film – that she’s already used the Time Stone to see beyond her very own death.
It’s here where she drops the huge revelation that Thanos’s destructive finger-snap, which wiped out half of all existence, didn’t actually kill a single person.
She explains that, rather than kill people, Thanos willed them out of existence, which is what made their eventual resurrection possible.
