The movie was scheduled to air on Memorial Day. Unfortunately the premiere was put on hold after the mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school which left 19 students and two teachers dead. The movie's star Mckenna Grace, a native of Texas, announced the movie's delay on her Twitter account and paid tribute to the victims of the shooting.
In the original Lifetime incarnation, Mckenna Grace dyed her hair black for the role of Emma. For this sequel, Grace sports her natural blonde tresses.
