Lifetime is adding another chapter to its Girl In franchise with a ripped-from-the-headlines story that takes aim at the dark side of digital exposure. Girl in the Attic premieres Saturday, June 14 at 8 PM ET and stars Jean Louisa Kelly, Sophia Carriere, and Keenan Tracey.
While the network’s playing coy with the plot specifics—a standard move for these true-crime-adjacent dramas—the title itself hints at a story of captivity and survival. The film aims to shed light on the dangers of online interactions and the toll they can take on young people, especially those grappling with difficult family situations.
Lifetime’s Ripped From the Headlines movies and its related Girl In franchise have become go-to viewing for a specific kind of true crime enthusiast—those less interested in forensics and more drawn to the emotional fallout of real-life trauma. Girl in the Attic continues in that vein.
Girl in the Attic premieres Saturday, June 14th at 8:00 PM ET on Lifetime.
