“Falling Skies” alumna Jessy Schram is set to co-star alongside Christina Ricci in the Lifetime six-episode limited series “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles.” The series is a followup to the network’s hit original movie “Lizzie Borden Took an Axe.”

Ricci reprises her role as Lizzie Borden, the acquitted suspect in the 1892 hatchet murders of her parents Andrew and Abby Borden. Schram plays an “alluring and ambitious” actress and dancer who befriends Lizzie. The series follows Lizzie after her acquittal and introduces a new murder mystery.

Schram is best known for her roles as Karen Nadler on TNT’s alien invasion series “Falling Skies” and Cinderella on ABC’s fairy tale series “Once Upon a Time.” On the big screen, she had a bit part in the runaway train thriller Unstoppable.
