No parent is perfect. Even the most devoted mother or father struggles with their children. Normally, those moments are fleeting. But what happens when they aren’t? That’s the question posed by Joshua Zetumer’s new series, Pagans. 

Emmy winner and Academy Award nominee Steven Yeun will star as Gus, the father at the center of the series from Zetumer, the creator of Peabody Award winner Say Nothing. 

Yeun and Zetumer also executive produce the series, alongside Drew Goddard, Sarah Esberg, Jonathan van Tulleken, Erica Kay, and Christina Oh.   

Read on for more information about Pagans, including the rest of its cast. Stay tuned as the series enters production.

What is Pagans about?

Pagans follows a man who becomes the sole caretaker of his two children after the tragic loss of his wife. While his son is typical, his daughter, Alice, is anything but. What starts as a strained father-daughter relationship soon evolves into something far more sinister. Equal parts emotional, horrifying, and humorous, Pagans is a show that unearths all our darkest thoughts about family.

Who’s in the cast of Pagans?

The cast of Pagans includes:

  • Steven Yeun (BEEF, Minari, The Rip, Nope, Animals) as Gus, a single father struggling to raise his kids Alice and Nate alone following his wife’s death.
  • Sabine Grace, in her television debut, as Alice, the family's black sheep. She keeps the world at arm's length and lives largely in her own head.
  • Logan Kim (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, The Walking Dead: Dead City) as Nate. Well-liked and dependable, Nate often feels like an afterthought at home, having grown up in the shadow of his younger sister Alice.
  • Marin Ireland (Dope Thief, His & Hers) as Janelle, a single mom doing her best to connect with her strong-willed 14-year-old daughter, Jade.
  • Intae Kim (Best Medicine, Succession) as Casey, Gus' younger brother. He shows up when his family needs a hand, even if no one says thank you.

When will Pagans be on Netflix?

There’s no release date yet, but keep your eyes peeled for more information as Pagans enters production.
