Join us for the premiere of the first episode of UnREAL, season 3, Lifetime’s critically-acclaimed series from A+E Studios. UnREAL takes place behind the scenes of the fictional dating competition show Everlasting, as the show’s producers manipulate the contestants to get the footage they need. Caitlin FitzGerald (“Masters of Sex,” “Rectify”) takes the reins in Season 3 as Everlasting’s female “suitress,” Serena, who the producers have to keep in check as she works her way through 25 eager male suitors, all the while exploring what it means to be a working woman and find love.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with cast member including Shiri Appleby and Craig Bierko, showrunner and executive producer, Stacy Rukeyser, and co-creator and executive producer Sarah Gertrude Shapiro and it will be moderated by Elizabeth Wagmeister.

Season three of UnREAL, which will premiere on Monday, February 26th has an impressive roster of female directors, with Appleby returning and Zimmer making her directorial debut.
