Lifetime announced today that the network's shows will hold a series of conversations on Facebook, where stars of its programs will hold live Q&A features to interact directly with fans and viewers via the social media platform. The network's portfolio of series will engage in these featured Q&A chats, giving fans the opportunity to ask questions and see the stars respond in real-time on Facebook. Talent and the creative teams from Lifetime's Devious Maids, Drop Dead Diva, Project Runway, Project Runway All Stars, Supermarket Superstar and upcoming drama, Witches of East End, will take part in the chats. As part of the partnership, Lifetime will feature on-screen snipes, social posts and tweets to promote the chats.
