LIFETIME GREENLIGHTS NEW "RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES" MOVIE INSPIRED BY REAL STORIES "GIRL IN THE ATTIC" STARRING JEAN LOUISA KELLY AND SOPHIA CARRIERE

Premiering Saturday, June 14 Movie Joins Lifetime's "Girl In" Franchise Showcasing Survivors Despite Harrowing Circumstances

LOS ANGELES, CA (April 28, 2025) - Lifetime adds to its successful "Girl In" franchise with the new Ripped from the Headlines movie Girl in the Attic, starring Jean Louisa Kelly (Yes, Dear, Top Gun: Maverick), Sophia Carriere (Girls Like Girls, Fame: A Temptations Story), and Keenan Tracey (Bates Motel, Polaroid). Inspired by real stories, the gripping drama sheds light on the perils of online exposure and the strength it takes to overcome the darkest of circumstances. Premiering Saturday, June 14 at 8/7c the harrowing and suspenseful film delves into the resilience of the human spirit and the power of unlikely alliances in the face of unimaginable terror.

Girl in the Attic follows Kelsey (Sophia Carriere), a determined young woman grieving the loss of her mother. To honor her mother's memory Kelsey decides to run a marathon and shares her journey online to raise money. However, her public posts catch the attention of Billy (Keenan Tracey), a seemingly unassuming grocery store worker who has put his own dreams on hold to care for his mother Debbie (Jean Louisa Kelly), a former dancer now confined to a wheelchair after a spinal cord injury. Billy quickly becomes obsessed with Kelsey and devises a sinister plan to abduct her after she posts where she'll be on her next run. Intent on making Kelsey his wife, Billy hides her away in the attic of the home he shares with Debbie. Bound and isolated, Kelsey is forced to endure years of torment as Billy controls her every move and exploits her through online videos for financial gain. In a shocking turn of events, Debbie discovers Kelsey's imprisonment and now the two women must band together before it's too late...

Lifetime's "Girl In" movies include Girl in the Garage, The Girl Locked Upstairs, Girl in the Video, Girl in Room 13, Girl in the Basement, Girl in the Bunker, Girl in the Box and Girl in the Shed, among others.

Girl in the Attic is produced by Pender Productions Inc. and distributed by Johnson Management Group for Lifetime. Tim Johnson and Amelia Burstyn serve as executive producers and Bruce Harvey produces. David Weaver directs a script from Jill Abbinanti-Burke, Ali Laventhol and Tawnya Bhattacharya.
