"Don't Hang Up" dials up nearly one million viewers in its premiere, becomes Bounce's most-watched original movie

ATLANTA (March 29, 2022) -- The premiere telecasts of the Bounce original "Don't Hang Up" on Sunday, March 20, were seen by nearly one million viewers 2+, making it the network's most-watched original movie in its 10-year history.

Starring Wendell Pierce ("The Wire," "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan"), "Don't Hang Up" also improved its timeslot by +38% in Persons 2+ viewers and by +30% in Households, P25-54, and P18-49 vs. prior four-week averages.

"Don't Hang Up" has several more airings and is also available for viewing on Bounce's streaming service Brown Sugar.

The thriller revolves around Chris Daniels (Pierce), a husband and father whose life is upended when he gets a phone call that hurls him into a harrowing journey to save his family. Told his daughter has been taken hostage, Daniels is ordered by the kidnappers to complete a series of missions to get her back, all while maintaining one deceptively simple rule: Don't hang up.

"Don't Hang Up" was directed by J.B. Sugar ("Faith Heist", "Bitten") from a screenplay by Byl Caruthers and produced by Sugar and Ella Myers for No Equal Entertainment.
