Netflix is stacking up its shelves with a buffet serving that is too good to miss. And one of the most exciting new additions will be A Deadly American Marriage. According to Tudum, the upcoming documentary follows the spine-chilling story of Jason Corbett, an Irish widower and father of two. Corbett reportedly found love for a second time with Molly Martens in 2008 and relocated to Ireland from North Carolina with his children.

Although Corbett dreamt of building a new life with Martens, their fairytale relationship was cut short when he lost his life in a bloody scuffle at home with none other than his partner, and her father, Thomas Martens, a former FBI agent. The upcoming documentary illuminates countless questions that have gone unanswered since the devastating events of that night.
