Trivia / The Wrong

• Advertised Extra: Vivica A. Fox is often top-billed on the series' official posters and, in Lifetime's own promotional material, has her face prominently featured. But more times than not, her role in the film is of the supporting variety.
• Creator Couple: Jessica Morris and Rib Hillis were already dating one another when they co-starred in The Wrong Man in 2017. They got married in 2023.
• The Danza: Tracy Nelson as Mrs. Nelson in The Wrong Friend.
• Dawson Casting: As is typical for Lifetime, the teen characters are played by older performers. With the girls they usually succeed in finding younger-passing actresses, but sometimes it fails with the boys. The villain in The Wrong Cheerleader and the heroine's boyfriend in The Wrong Cheerleader Coach are high school seniors played by guys who are clearly pushing 30.
• Fake American: New Zealand-born actress Morgan Bradley as Jordan in The Wrong Life Coach.
• He Also Did: Adam Rockoff, who's written a bunch of screenplays for this series (and other movies for Lifetime and Hallmark Channel) wrote the book Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film, 1978 to 1986, plus the memoir The Horror of It All: One Moviegoer's Love Affair with Masked Maniacs, Frightened Virgins, and the Living Dead....
• No Budget: With their small casts and limited number of sets, The Wrong movies clearly don't cost a whole lot. But given how cheap and chintzy David DeCoteau's Horror movies (some filmed on video cameras!) can be, the polished production values and presence of familiar faces make them practically Marvel Universe movies by his standards.
• Playing Against Type:
  • Corin Nemec as the villain in The Wrong Stepfather. He's generally a Nice Guy, particularly in his roles in this series; indeed, he plays the Love Makes You Dumb victim in its companion piece The Wrong Stepmother.
  • In The Wrong Stepmother, the disturbed, murderous villain Maddie is played by frequent Hallmark Channel romance star Cindy Busby.
• Production Posse:
  • Behind the scenes, David DeCoteau directs all the movies, Vivica A. Fox is one of the executive producers, and Matthew Jason Walsh, Robert Dean Klein, Adam Rockoff and Jeffrey Schenck have written multiple screenplays.
  • In terms of acting, there's a core group of performers who are reused throughout the series, placing it a step or two away from Universal-Adaptor Cast (kinda like a Lifetime version of Carry On). Vivica A. Fox always has a role. There's also Jessica Morris (blonde) or Krista Allen (brunette) as the long-suffering heroine, Dominique Swain or Lesli Kay as her best friend or someone who gets mixed up in the story, Jason-Shane Scott or Rib Hillis as the handsome Heel (though they also get chances to play a Face), Ashlynn Yennie when they need an alluring female villain, Tracy Nelson as an older authority figure of some sort, and Jamie Bernadette as a somewhat mysterious woman, usually one of the villain's past victims. Along with them you have multiple appearances by Corin Nemec as a father or love interest, Eric Roberts and Michael Pare in a variety of older male roles, plus many other regulars. This leads to plenty of You Look Familiar and Those Two Actors moments.
• Similarly Named Works: One of the movies is called The Wrong Man, but is not a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock classic.
• Those Two Actors: Jessica Morris and Jason-Shane Scott, who played sister-and-brother duo Jennifer and Will Rappaport on One Life to Live, played the heroine (Laurie) and villain (Alan) in the first movie, The Wrong Roommate, and have teamed up again in several later Wrong installments. The Wrong Roommate and The Wrong Fiancé both had Morris as a woman who falls for a new man in her life, unaware that he's a Con Man getting paid by her ex-lover, who's trying to manipulate her back into his life; Scott is the Con Man in Roommate and the former lover in Fiancé
• Throw It In!: One scene in The Wrong Child takes place in a house's bathroom, and the sink faucet is noticeably dripping, which might lead you to think that it's going to become some kind of Chekhov's Gun. But no, it's just a leaky faucet that no one apparently noticed (or cared about) during filming.
• Tyop on the Cover: Dominque [sic] Swain is listed in the opening credits of The Wrong Teacher.
