‘Unchosen’ Trailer Teases Netflix Cult Thriller

by

Netflix’s new series, Unchosen, is shaping up to be the next big drama for fans of shows like The Handmaid’s Tale. A recently released trailer hints at a gripping and honest look inside a cult, blending intense drama with a touch of romance. The psychological thriller is one of many exciting new releases coming to Netflix soon, and details about the cast and crew reveal a story that exposes the dark and controlling side of cult life.

The new film, Unchosen, stars Molly Windsor (known for War of the Worlds) as Rosie, a woman living in a strict Christian community. The film’s trailer reveals that the women in this community are controlled and forced into servitude by the male leaders. Rosie’s beliefs are challenged when she meets Sam, played by Fra Fee, who recently appeared in Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon films on Netflix.

I just watched the trailer for Unchosen, and it’s seriously gripping! The story centers around Rosie, and her situation is complicated by her husband, Adam – you might recognize him as Asa Butterfield from Sex Education. The trailer really leans into the mystery and tension you’d expect from a show about a secluded cult, hinting at some dark secrets and unsettling events, even involving Sam. It’s clear nothing is what it seems, and this six-episode season, dropping on April 21st, looks like it’s going to be full of twists and turns as these secrets are revealed.

Julie Gearey, the creator and writer of the new series, shared with Tudum that the show was inspired by the experiences of people who used to be in cults. She connected with former members to ensure the series was accurate and respectful, and explained what she learned from them.

We discovered many participants had experienced trauma. It was crucial to reassure them that they wouldn’t be recognizable to viewers and that we would honestly and respectfully portray their feelings about being on the show.

The new Netflix drama, Unchosen, delves into the reasons why people are drawn to cults and the issues that develop within these closed communities. Though the characters aren’t based on real individuals, the series aims to be both a compelling story and an exploration of the struggles faced by those involved. With a strong cast and a team committed to handling the subject matter with care, Unchosen is shaping up to be a standout original release in April, alongside highly anticipated shows like the second season of Beef.
