Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig’s Lifetime movie A Deadly Adoption screened on June 8. Will Ferrell admitted HE and KRISTIN WIIG (and the writer of Spoils of Babylon) were the ONLY ones in on the joke. Lifetime, the other actors/actresses, etc... no one else knew. That way they didn't leak it's purpose, or act different knowing it was a satire. He wanted them to play it like a real Lifetime film. He turned in a ridiculous script to Lifetime, and expected them to say no. That was part of the satire, not letting them in on it.I think Ferrell just wanted the supporting cast to play it as if they were in a real Lifetime film, and telling them it was a Satire from the get go would have compromised that. They would have been too over the top or trying to be funny with facial expressions and dialogue.
