Lizzie Borden Took An Ax Lifetime Series is coming back and Christina Ricci ax in it. I mean hacks in it. Dare I say acts in it?

Amid complains that Lifetime's Lizzie Borden series takes massive swipes at history, Lifetime announced that it ordered two more episodes of "The Lizzie Borden Chronicles," which stars "Addams Family" and "Monster: actress Christina Ricci as the alleged ax murder who inspired the famous nursery rhyme.

Lizzie Borden was acquitted of killing her father and stepmother in 1892, but her legend lives on. Last year, Lifetime produced an original movie called Lizzie Borden Took An Ax, which was inspired by real-life events, well, loosely inspired. The next parts of the series will look at Borden's life in the years after her homicide acquittal.

"It's an imagining of what could've happened," Ricci said. The actress told reporters at the Television Critics Association's winter TV previews that "there are no limits of behavior. There are no rules. It's the ultimate playing a fantasy."

The episodes will be directed by Stephen Kay, who added "It's what would happen if you let this woman loose on a community."

According to the official synopsis, "The Lizzie Borden Chronicles delivers an intense and fictionalized account of actual events and people surrounding Lizzie's life after her controversial acquittal of the horrific double murder of her father and stepmother in 1892, when the exonerated figure lives a life awash in newfound celebrity filled with scandalous love affairs. But when numerous people close to Lizzie -- ranging from her half-brother William to Broadway luminaries and her business associate/underworld kingpin Mr. Flowers -- start to mysteriously die under brutal and strange circumstances, legendary Pinkerton detective Charlie Siringo becomes determined to prove her involvement in their ultimate demise."

"Lizzie Borden Took an Ax" told the story of the 19th century Fall River, Mass., woman who was tried and acquitted for the ax-murder of her father and stepmother. Lizzie Borden has become part of pop culture because of that nursery rhyme.

The series will also star Clea DuVall, who played Lizzie Borden's sister, Emma.

The eight-part series is set to premiere in April, 2015.
