Netflix has become a global hub for a variety of compelling and sinister films, from chilling psychological thrillers to heart-stopping horror. The streaming service's library includes a wide range of titles that explore the darker side of human nature and the supernatural, such as the haunting family secrets of The Haunting of Hill House or the tense cat-and-mouse game in The Guilty. Now, a new series is set to join their ranks, delving into a family dynamic that is far from ordinary.

This new project promises to challenge the very nature of parental love and the dark thoughts that lie beneath the surface of a seemingly normal family.

The series titled Pagans centers on a father who, following the tragic death of his wife, becomes the sole caretaker for his two children. While his son appears to be typical, his daughter, Alice, is not. The narrative begins as a strained relationship between the father and his daughter, but it soon escalates into a chilling and malevolent dynamic. The show will explore the darkest thoughts that parents might have, secrets they are never supposed to reveal.

The new project by Joshua Zetumer was reportedly won by Netflix in a competitive auction, underscoring its potential. Pagans is described as an emotional, horrifying, and humorous series that uses genre elements to expose the unspoken and sinister aspects of parenthood. Zetumer’s prior work, Say Nothing, earned him an Emmy nomination, setting high expectations for this new show.
