Meet the Cast of 'The Deadly Getaway'

Meet the four leads of the new original BET+ movie.

BET+'s original movie, "The Deadly Getaway," premieres this weekend. "The Deadly Getaway" begins with a chaotic home invasion gone wrong, resulting in a man's death. The story then shifts to Hope and Jacob, a couple seeking to escape their monotonous routine with a spontaneous trip to Wolf Creek—where Jacob plans a surprise proposal. Upon arrival, their expectation of a secluded retreat is shattered when Hope's ex, Derrick, shows up with his new girlfriend, Jada. Tensions quickly mount. The unsettling coincidence of Derrick's presence at Wolf Creek raises questions. Why is he there the same weekend as Hope? And why is he ominously toying with guns?

Let's take a look at the cast.
