The devil works hard, but the marketing department at KFC works harder. 

In Australia, we know KFC’s marketing through their short and snappy ads. You know, the ones that feature an awkward situation, followed by the phrase ‘Did someone say KFC?’ and then a snippet of Icona Pop’s groundbreaking single ‘I Love It’. But, In America, KFC’s marketing department works significantly harder.

KFC & Lifetime: The Collab Of The Century

In news that I can not believe I am saying today, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Lifetime are teaming up to give us the most ambitious crossover yet. These two are putting out a movie called A Recipe for Seduction, which stars Mario Lopez as Colonel Harland Sanders himself. No, we’re not joking. We could not make this up if we tried. Believe us. 


The general plot of the movie follows a young heiress as she falls for a handsome, young chef with a secret fried chicken recipe (the Colonel) instead of the man that her mother had handpicked for her. Ridiculous or pure genius? I’m unsure at this point. 

Mario Lopez, who is a veteran actor and star of the Lifetime channel, is starring as the lead role in this romance-thriller which is set to come out mid-December. The trailer, which features tales of a forbidden romance, cheating, foul play etc. can be found here:

Now, we have no idea what we just watched, but to be completely honest, we’re feeling a little excited. This ‘mini-movie’ is the first of its kind and should run for approximately 15-minutes long. We know the silly season is upon us but, c’mon, PR is out of control!

A Word From KFC

“We could all use a little distraction this holiday season, so why not fill some of your time at home with a suspenseful drama and the comfort of our world-famous fried chicken?” said Andrea Zahumensky, the CMO of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the States. “A Recipe for Seduction is a perfect excuse to curl up at home and escape to your own happily ever after.”

While this movie will be available to stream on Lifetime’s website in the States, it’s unclear how we can stream it here in Australia, but let’s just hope that KFC AU finds a way, because consider us keen.
