Britney Ever After is a 2017 American biographical drama television film directed by Leslie Libman and written by Anne-Marie Hess. It is based on the life of Britney Spears. The film stars Natasha Bassett, Peter Benson, Clayton Chitty, Nathan Keyes and Nicole Oliver. The film premiered on Lifetime on February 18, 2017.[1][2]

The film is an unofficial biopic, as neither Spears nor her team had any involvement with the project. When asked about the project during its production phase, Spears' representative said that Spears would "not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the Lifetime biopic...nor does it have her blessing."[3] The film was panned by the critics for its inaccuracies, performances and screenplay.

Plot[edit]

The film is a loose retelling of the life of pop superstar Britney Spears. It starts from the beginning of her career not including The Mickey Mouse Club. It also goes into her relationship with Justin Timberlake. The film also covers her marriage to Kevin Federline, her downward spiral and ends with her performing at her residency in Las Vegas. The film did not use any of Spears' songs, due to the singer and her team not consenting to the film's production.
