- Netflix set Sabine Grace, Logan Kim, Marin Ireland, and Intae Kim in starring roles opposite Steven Yeun in "Pagans," a supernatural drama from "Say Nothing" creator Joshua Zetumer
- The series follows Gus (Yeun), who becomes sole caretaker of his two children after his wife's tragic death; while son Nate is typical, daughter Alice is "anything but," and their strained father-daughter bond evolves into something sinister
- Sabine Grace makes her television debut as Alice, the family's "black sheep" who keeps the world at arm's length and lives largely in her own head
- Logan Kim reunites with Yeun for a second time after playing his son Hershel Rhee on "The Walking Dead: Dead City"; here he plays Nate, the well-liked but overlooked brother who grew up in his younger sister's shadow
- Marin Ireland ("Dope Thief," "His & Hers") plays Janelle, a single mom trying to connect with her strong-willed 14-year-old daughter Jade
- Intae Kim ("Best Medicine," "Succession") plays Casey, Gus's younger brother who shows up when family needs a hand even if no one says thank you
- Zetumer serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Drew Goddard, Sarah Esberg, Jonathan van Tulleken, Erica Kay, and Yeun and Christina Oh via Celadon Pictures
Why it matters: Logan Kim and Yeun's reunion marks a notable "Walking Dead" callback into Netflix's prestige horror lane, giving the show built-in fan-service reach despite being a brand-new property. Grace landing the central Alice role in her TV debut signals Netflix's willingness to anchor a heavy supernatural premise on an untested lead.
