Petals On The Wind Character Posters Tease Family, Vines And Vengeance

Cathy

Following up on the dramatic teaser for Lifetime's Flowers in the Attic followup Petals on the Wind, Lifetime has offered up some very fittingly floral character posters, which merge the viney look of the Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind promotional content with a bit of 70s glamour. The above poster shows us Rose McIvor as Petals lead character Cathy Dollanganger, a woman hellbent on revenge against her mother for the years she and her siblings spent locked away in an attic.

EW shared four posters for Lifetime's adaptation of VC Andrews' Petals on the Wind, including this one, which shows the stunning Heather Graham as Corrine -- the mentioned mother -- under the words "Revenge is a Mother."

Corrine

Wyatt Nash plays Chris, the guy offering a little bit too much "Brotherly Love" to his sister Cathy...

Less loving is the "Holy Hag" that is Ellen Burstyn's Olivia -- aka The Grandmother -- mother to Corrine and grandmother to Chris and Cathy. Burstyn's rocking a pretty stern glare in her poster...

We're less than a month from the premiere date of Petals on the Wind, so the timing is right for Lifetime to start ramping up the promotions for the TV movie followup. That includes the mentioned teaser trailer, which splits its attention between recapping Flowers in the Attic and then glimpsing the vengeance that's ahead as the story jumps forward ten years to show Chris and Cathy in their adult years, still not quite over the years of neglect and abuse they suffered during their adolescence:
