March 26 (UPI) -- Lifetime says it has green-lit a slate of "female-centric" projects, including a thriller starring Anjelica Huston and a film narrated/produced by kidnap survivor Elizabeth Smart.

Also included in the lineup with director Melissa Joan Hart's Watcher in the Woods and I Am Elizabeth Smart are the unscripted series This Time Next Year starring comedian Cat Deeley and a reality show with Yolanda Hadid titled Model Moms.

"We are proud to launch such a robust offering of innovative programming with this award-winning group of talent. As we look to tell the stories that otherwise wouldn't be told, through the vision and words of true-life experiences and female storytellers, Lifetime imagines all that's possible for women, both on screen and beyond," Liz Gateley, executive vice president and head of programming, said in a statement.
