Netflix subscribers have a new obsession. The 2024 Lifetime drama Gaslit by My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story is currently dominating the U.S. charts. After debuting at number three on March 16, 2026, the film surged to the number two spot just one day later, according to data from FlixPatrol. The movie stars Jana Kramer as Morgan and Austin Nichols as her abusive ex-husband, Rodney.

The film is based on a shocking true story from 2021. The real Rodney Metzer staged a home invasion to "rescue" Morgan Metzer in a twisted attempt to win her back. In reality, he was the masked assailant who had attacked her earlier that day. Rodney Metzer eventually pleaded guilty to several charges, including kidnapping and aggravated assault, and was sentenced to 70 years in prison.

Jana Kramer has been vocal about the film's emotional weight, having previously shared her own experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse. Fans are now rediscovering her performance on Netflix, where the "Ripped from the Headlines" feature has found a massive second life. The movie continues to trend as one of the most-watched titles on the platform this week.
