The Wrong Fiancé is a 2021 TV thriller directed by David DeCoteau, created by Adam Rockoff and Rolfe Kanefsky. Jessica Morris leads the cast, with Vivica A. Fox, Jason-Shane Scott, Gina Hiraizumi and Justin Schwan in supporting roles.

The movie did not receive major awards or high-profile nominations. As a television feature, it wasn’t part of awards season coverage and its recognition has mainly come through audience reaction and genre-specific writeups rather than formal honors.

Critical and audience response was mixed, reflected in a modest 5.3/10 average from a small number of votes. Viewers praised some performances while criticizing pacing and familiar plot beats. The film focuses on themes of stalking, control, and how past relationships can continue to threaten personal safety, aiming more for steady suspense than big surprises.

While it didn’t make a large cultural splash, The Wrong Fiancé found its place among late-night and streaming domestic thrillers. Vivica A. Fox’s presence helped draw attention, and the film appeals to viewers who like character-driven tension and stories about ordinary life becoming unsafe.
