Niecy Nash is booked and busy, baby!

On the heels of her incredible performance in Ava DuVernay‘s limited series, “When They See Us,” the actress is set to star in “Kidnapped: The Kamiyah Mobley Story” for Lifetime.

“Kidnapped” is executive produced by Robin Roberts through her Rock’n Roberts Productions and will premiere sometime in 2020.

Niecy will star as Gloria Williams, Rayven Symone Ferrell will star as Kamiyah and Ta’Rhonda Jones will star as Shanara Mobley, Kamiyah’s biological mother.

Via Deadline:

In the summer of 1998, Gloria Williams (Nash), reeling from a recent miscarriage, drove from her home in South Carolina and walked into a Jacksonville, Florida hospital posing as a nurse and took newborn Kamiyah Mobley (Ferrell) out of her mother Shanara Mobley’s (Jones) arms. By the time police were alerted, Gloria was long gone. Renaming the baby Alexis, Gloria raised her as her own, providing her with unconditional love and nurturing.

It wasn’t until years later, when Alexis applied for her first job and couldn’t provide a social security card or a birth certificate, that she realized something was wrong. After confronting Gloria, Alexis learned the truth, that she was really Kamiyah Mobley and abducted as a baby. Despite discovering the mother she knew was really her kidnapper, Alexis kept the secret as long as she could, until an anonymous tip soon led to Gloria’s arrest and their world came tumbling down.

I will be on time for this!
