Are you looking for answers to deep and important questions — like what to binge next? Thankfully, the answer is just a click away with The Path, streaming exclusively on shomi, Friday, Aug. 26. The riveting new drama looks at the followers of a new religious movement, “Meyerism,” and explores faith and family within this controversial cult. The series stars Hugh Dancy (Hannibal) as the charismatic cult leader, Michelle Monaghan (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) as a life-long believer, and Aaron Paul (in his first TV role since Breaking Bad) as her husband suffering from a crisis of faith. Blending mystery-thriller, romance, and the supernatural, The Path forces its characters to choose between the family they have and the family they want. Join us and get ready for enlightenment as you become The Path’s latest convert.
Season 1 of The Path sees the return of two Meyerist members — Cal Roberts (Dancy), who, after three years in San Diego, returns intent on leading the organization into its next generation; and Eddie Lane (Paul), who, while completing his 6R training in Peru, experienced a horrifying vision of the organization’s truth. Eddie’s wife, Sarah Lane (Monaghan), finds herself torn between supporting the movement she fiercely believes in and her husband’s growing concerns and erratic behaviour. Loyalty and belief break down as questions about the truth of the Meyerist Movement are raised.
The Path is a 10-episode, Hulu original series from Universal Television and True Jack Productions. Jessica Goldberg is the series creator and serves as executive producer. Jason Katims and Michelle Lee also serve as executive producers. Season 2 will premiere on Showcase at a later date.
