The made-for-TV movies that will next week include:

The HBO telefilm Fahrenheit 451 will debut on May 19 at 8 PM. Based on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel the film depicts a future where the media is an opiate, history is rewritten and “firemen” burn books. The cast includes Michael B. Jordan, Michael Shannon, Martin Donovan and Soufia Boutella.

The new Hallmark Channel movie Royally Ever After will debut on May 19 at 9 PM. Sara’s (Fiona Gubelmann) dream of finding the perfect mate is realized when boyfriend Daniel (Torrance Coombs) proposes marriage, but there is one tiny hitch. It turns out he is the real-life prince of a small European monarchy, and his marriage requires the approval of his royal parents. Commoner Sara will have to do more than simply impress the in-laws-to-be. If she wants to become Daniel’s wife, she’ll have to prove she’s got all the makings of an honest-to-goodness princess.

Mark your calendars!
