Neve Campbell is making her return to small screen in the made-for-tv movie "Sworn to Silence." If the two-hour program does well, it could very well become a series on Lifetime.
The movie, which is based on a book by Linda Castillo, stars Campbell as former member of the Amish community who returns to her hometown in Ohio as its police chief. It is here she'll be charged with leading a murder investigation while trying to come to terms with her own past.
Campbell is a TV veteran, most known for her work on "Party of Five." Film fans know her from her run as the Sidney Prescott in the "Scream" films as well as "Wild Things" and "54."
Campbell is not the first "Party of Five" cast member to work with Lifetime. In Aug., the cable network signed on Jennifer Love Hewitt to star in the series "The Client List.
