Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead, Nope) is set to lead Pagans, a new Netflix-bound supernatural drama-horror series that further revealed its cast earlier today.
Starring alongside Yeun in the show by Say Nothing creator Joshua Zetumer are Marin Ireland (The Dark and the Wicked, The Empty Man, Birth/Rebirth), Intae Kim (Succession), and Sabine Grace in her television debut.
Also starring is Logan Kim, who'll be playing Yeun's onscreen son for the second time following his role as Hershel Rhee, the child of Yeun's Glenn and Lauren Cohan's Maggie, in The Walking Dead: Dead City. Of course, Yeun and Kim never got to interact onscreen because Glenn met a very grisly end before Hershel was even born. Thanks a lot, Negan.
Described by Deadline as a show that “unearths darkest thoughts about family”, in Pagans, a man, Gus (Yeun) becomes the sole caretaker of his two children after the tragic loss of his wife. While his son Nate (Logan Kim) is typical, his daughter, Alice (Grace), is anything but. What starts as a strained father-daughter relationship soon evolves into something far more sinister.
According to Deadline, Ireland plays Janelle, a single mom doing her best to connect with her strong-willed 14-year-old daughter, while Intae Kim plays Gus' younger brother, who shows up when his family needs a hand, even if no one says thank you. Sounds tense.
Behind the scenes, Zetumer is executive producer and showrunner. Also executive producing are Goddard Textiles’ Drew Goddard and Sarah Esberg, Jonathan van Tulleken, Erica Kay and Celadon Pictures’ Yeun and Christina Oh.
No news yet on when we can expect Pagans to debut on Netflix, but keep your eyes peeled.
