Following their biopics on Aaliyah, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, and the upcoming Britney Spears and Michel’le films, now Lifetime is reportedly trying their hand at another superstar female singer.

According to an unconfirmed report from Dish Nation, the network is set to tackle the life of Beyonce in an upcoming made for TV film. Get into the deets below.

Lifetime have enjoyed huge hits with their biopics especially on pop culture – and they think Beyonce has the potential to be another one. No-one has yet managed to create a drama about Beyonce’s astonishing rise from a dreamer in Houston to one of the greatest artists of all time, through family sacrifices, group fights and her rollercoaster love life with Jay Z…and Lifetime feel they should be first.”
But their difficulty is getting an actress, who can sing and dance like Bey, to look, sound and act the part. They want the leading star to be as convincing as possible rather than getting hate from her fans.
“It is a delicate position for the network. If they make the film a critical acclaimed drama then they can score huge ratings and achieve global sales too. But if it they don’t, then that will be a PR disaster.

The network has yet to confirm or deny the reports, but we are certainly waiting to hear more.
