The synopsis has been sourced from Production Weekly:
The supernatural drama, 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 uses genre to unearth all the dark thoughts that parents have, the kind of thoughts mom and dad are never supposed to talk about.
Who are the cast members of Pagans?
Sabine Grace plays Alice, who is primed for a breakout role after previous appearances in two shorts and a guest spot on Yo Gabba Gabbaland. She is joined by Steven Yeun, a veteran of multiple Netflix Originals like Beef and Animals, alongside Logan Kim, who lands his first Netflix project in a fun twist of fate as the onscreen son of his co-star’s former The Walking Dead character. Rounding out the ensemble are Marin Ireland, bringing experience from Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy and The Irishman, and Intae Kim, who steps into his debut Netflix series following appearances in prestige dramas like Succession and Severance.
