Meet the Cast of “The Deadly Getaway”

BET+’s original film, “The Deadly Getaway,” premieres this weekend. “The Deadly Getaway” begins with a chaotic home invasion gone wrong, resulting in the death of a man. The story then shifts to Hope and Jacob, a couple looking to escape their monotonous routine with a spontaneous trip to Wolf Creek, where Jacob plans a surprise proposal. Upon their arrival, their expectation of a secluded retreat is shattered when Hope’s ex, Derrick, shows up with his new girlfriend, Jada. Tensions rise quickly.
