The official synopsis reads: "As Detective Jeb Pyre investigates events that transpired within the Lafferty family, he uncovers buried truths about the origins of the LDS religion and the violent consequences of unyielding faith.

The series is set to be released on Disney+ on 27 July and also stars Avatar's Sam Worthington and Colette actress Denise Gough. Fans across the pond have been full of praise for the series, so we'll definitely be giving it a try!

"If you love Garfield, you’ll love this show," while another person added: "I love Andrew Garfield in Under the Banner of Heaven, but can we talk about Wyatt Russell and what a FANTASTIC job he is doing as Dan? BRILLIANT."

A third person wrote: "There are a lot of excellent things about #UnderTheBannerOfHeaven, but my favorite might be the choice to cast Wyatt Russell as the frighteningly confident zealot brother who steamrolls every other person who opens their mouth. He’s entirely too good."
Speaking about taking part in the show, Andrew told Harper's Bazaar: "I read the book over 10 years ago and just found it so intriguing. Dustin said, ‘I’ve managed to adapt this book, and I have seven scripts that I’d like you to look at, and I’ve invented a character at the centre of it, who is the detective on the case. And I think it’s a really interesting part.’
"I read it and I thought, ‘Oh, this is an easy yes,’ because I love this book, I love Dustin, I love the struggle that this character is living within."
