The late Bobbi Kristina Brown, who died July 26, 2015 in a metro Atlanta hospice, will be the subject of a new original film due out this summer.

TV One announced plans to air "Bobbi Kristina," starring Joy Rovaris in the title role with "Real Housewives of Atlanta" personality  Demetria McKinney playing  Bobbi Kristina's mother, the late Whitney Houston and  Hassan Johnson  cast as her father, R&B singer Bobby Brown Vivica Fox  will play Bobbi Kristina's aunt, Pat Houston.

PAST COVERAGE:

"Told through a mix of memories and dramatic moments, the film offers an intimate look at the highs and lows of parental, familial and romantic love complicated by fame through the eyes of a sensitive, vulnerable young woman," the network announced.

Bobbi Kristina died at 22 after months in hospital, then hospice care after being found unresponsive in a bathtub in January 2015. 

Nick Gordon, the companion Bobbi Kristina often called her "husband" although they were not legally married, last year was found "legally responsible" in a ruling that emanated  from a civil lawsuit Bobbi Kristina's legal represenative filed against Nick, not criminal proceedings. 

No criminal charges have been filed in connection with Bobbi Kristina's death.
