What Is It

Described as "an epic saga of the secret history of the 1930s American heartland," the series will focus on Seth Davenport (Killian Scott), a man pretending to be a preacher in the hopes of starting an insurrection.

Reasons To Be Excited

USA network's big new entry for the fall season, the series is executive produced by Logan's James Mangold and Hell or High Water's David Mackenzie, with the latter directing the pilot episode. Netflix have also come onboard to co-produce and distribute outside of the U.S., which is a decent show of faith. Starring Scott and not-Tom-Hardy Logan Marshall-Green, the series has the potential to be a thrilling period piece.
