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.

Pagans stars Steven Yeun (BEEF, Minari, The Rip, Nope, the upcoming Animals) as Gus, a single father struggling to raise two kids alone following his wife’s death. 

When will Pagans be on Netflix?

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