Timed to the one-year disappearance of Gabby Petito, the movie is part of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lifetime&#8217;s Stop Violence Against Women<\/span> public affairs initiative. As a trusted destination for women, Lifetime created a new PSA to debut as part of the movie&#8217;s roll out, driving to the important work of the network&#8217;s partner, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and their helpline to provide resources for women. The documentary special, <strong><em>Beyond the Headlines: Gabby Petito<\/em><\/strong> will air following the movie @ 10PM\/9c for a more in-depth look at the true story.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Gabby Petito Story<\/em> explores Gabby and her fianc\u00e9 Brian Laundrie&#8217;s complicated relationship and what may have gone wrong during their cross-country trip that resulted in Gabby&#8217;s tragic murder.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2827167887\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The disappearance of Gabby Petito captured America&#8217;s attention, setting off a nationwide search for the 22-year-old travel blogger after her parents reported her missing in September 2021, when she failed to return home following her cross-country &#8220;van-life&#8221; trip with her fianc\u00e9 Brian Laundrie. Non-stop coverage on the news drove amateur sleuths to dissect Gabby&#8217;s social media posts for clues about what happened to her during her trip, leading to the eventual discovery of her body in Wyoming. As the one-year anniversary of her tragic death approaches, the movie will bring to life Gabby and Brian&#8217;s doomed love story, including the warning signs that Gabby&#8217;s life was in danger, the ensuing search for her, the eventual discovery of her murder, and ultimately, Brian&#8217;s suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Skyler Samuels is best known for playing &#8216;Chloe King&#8217; in ABC Family&#8217;s <em>Nine Lives of Chloe King<\/em>, which garnered her a Teen Choice Award for Breakout Actress. Samuels followed that with a leading role in Ryan Murphy&#8217;s Fox series <em>Scream Queens<\/em>. She also worked with Murphy again on FX&#8217;s hit series <em>American Horror Story: Freak Show<\/em>. Recently, Samuels starred as a series regular on Fox&#8217;s <em>The Gifted<\/em>. She also starred in Lifetime&#8217;s <em>Switched Before Birth<\/em>. Her film credits include Liongate&#8217;s <em>Public Disturbance, Spare Room, The Duff<\/em> and shot a lead in the Sony Franchise <em>The Meg<\/em> with Jason Statham.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Hall was a recurring character on the critically acclaimed Orange is the New Black. He was also a series regular on the Nat Geo series Mars, produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard&#8217;s Imagine Entertainment. Hall has amassed an impressive list of guest star credits including shows such as Elementary, Blue Bloods, The Equalizer, Blacklist, and more. His film credits include Rebel in the Rye, In Searching, C Street, and Just Ask, as well as numerous shorts. He also has a long list of voiceover credits.<\/p>\n<p>Golden Globe\u00ae, BAFTA\u00ae, and Emmy\u00ae-nominated and SAG-winning actress Thora Birch (<em>The Walking Dead, American Beauty, Ghost World<\/em>) makes her directorial debut in this film and plays Gabby&#8217;s mom, Nichole Schmidt.

Birch joins Lifetime&#8217;s growing roster of first-time directors through their Broader Focus program.<\/p>\n<p>Being a leader in telling powerful stories of women and providing a platform to shine a light on unheard voices, Lifetime is also in development on several movies surrounding violence against women who may not have had the same media attention as Gabby Petito. These include the stories of Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, Adriane Fields, Beatrice Weston, among others, with each project in various stages of development.<\/p>\n<p><em>Beyond the Headlines: Gabby Petito<\/em> is a one-hour true crime documentary special that will chronicle the twists and turns of the tragic road trip through the lens of Gabby&#8217;s social media presence as told both by the people who knew her best and a community of online strangers and cyber sleuths who ended up banding together to ultimately solve this shocking homicide. Two timelines were unfolding in the Gabby Petito story &#8211; a private one and a very public one.
