The creative team behind 'Unchosen' includes Julie Gearey as creator, with Jim Loach and Philippa Langdale directing. The series stars Asa Butterfield as Adam, a member of a close-knit Christian sect, alongside Molly Windsor as his wife Rosie. Christopher Eccleston plays Mr Phillips, the leader of the congregation, while Fra Fee portrays Sam, an escaped prisoner with a dark criminal past, and Siobhan Finneran plays Mrs Phillips.
The plot involves Rosie uncovering dark secrets in the sect after Sam's arrival, leading to cracks in her marriage. Asa Butterfield appears almost unrecognisable with a shaved head in his role. Fan reactions on social media have been enthusiastic, with one YouTube user noting excitement about Christopher Eccleston's involvement, while another commented on Midsommar-like vibes, and others expressed eagerness and approval of Asa Butterfield in a serious role.
Christopher Eccleston? I'm sold. He's like the golden goose.
However, the exact release date for 'Unchosen' on Netflix remains unspecified. Additionally, while the series is described as a six-part drama, the total number of episodes could be subject to confirmation, and any other major cast members or specific content warnings have not been detailed.
I feel Midsommar vibes here.
