What's On Tonight (Saturday): Crazy little thing called Lust

Lust: A Seven Deadly Sins Story

Hey, you! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, April 10!

Tonight is the start of Lifetime's new movie series, this one an anthology. The T.D. Jakes produced Seven Deadly Sins series kicks off with Lust, starring Keri Hilson, Tobias Truvillion, and Durrell "Tank" Babbs. Each of the seven movies will profile a deadly sin, which you probably already figured. Next week is Envy, and both are based on Victoria Christopher Murray's series.

Elsewhere, Maisie Williams & Anya Taylor-Joy are mutants, The Promised Neverland returns, Reelz profiles Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, Det. Murdoch deals with a murder on an estate/declared nation, Oxygen celebrates serial killers, Final Space's Avocato needs rescuing, and Carey Mulligan is live from New York.
