Lifetime’s Women in Peril: The network provides a twofer of its signature “based on a true story” cautionary tales, starting with The Girl Locked Upstairs: The Tanya Kach Story (Saturday, 8/7c), based on the life of Tanya (Jordyn Ashley Olsen), a bullied 14-year-old who’s befriended by her middle school’s security guard (Robert Baker)—until he lures her to his home and keeps her captive there for more than a decade. Followed by a Behind the Headlinesspecial at 10/9c. Sunday’s Gaslit by My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story(8/7c) stars executive producer Jana Kramer as Morgan, whose marriage to childhood sweetheart Rodney (Austin Nichols) takes quite a few sinister turns.
