Didn't get your fill of incest from Lifetime's Flowers in the Attic movie or its sequel Petals on the Wind? You're in luck, because Lifetime is revisiting the Dollanganger siblings for a third movie!

The network has just greenlighted the movie adaptation for author V.C. Andrews' third book in the Flowers in the Attic series, If There Be Thorns, which will premiere in 2015. And once again, both of the lead roles have been recast to star older actors.

So who is set to play Christopher and Cathy Dollanganger this time around?

According to THR, Sex and the City star Jason Lewis (aka Samantha's man Smith Jerrod!) has been cast as Christopher, while Rachael Carpani will play Cathy. Lewis is taking over the role first portrayed by Mason Dye in Flowers in the Attic and Wyatt Nash in Petals on the Wind, and Carpani is inheriting the role first played by Kiernan Shipka in FITA and Rose McIver in POTW.

And yes, before you ask, If There Be Thorns will have plenty of the Flowers in the Attic incest we can't get enough of. (Um, did we really just write that sentence?) The third installment follows brother-sister duo Christopher and Cathy as they live together in California "as man and wife" with Cathy's two sons, who don't know/understand their parents' real relationship. The story takes place in 1982.

This won't be the last time Lifetime will follow the antics of the crazy Dollanganger family, as the fourth book in Andrews' series, Seeds of Yesterday, is also reportedly close to getting officially greenlighted.

Are you ready for more Flowers in the Attic? What do you think of the new Cathy and Christopher?
