When a young woman in a reclusive British cult has a chance encounter with an outsider, it makes her question whether life within the sect is the best thing for her and her daughter. That’s the plot of Netflix’s new psychological thriller Unchosen – and while the cult in the show is fictional, it’s based on the many real stories of genuine groups that exist in the UK.
The six-parter sees Rosie (Molly Windsor) navigate life within the Fellowship of the Divine – where technology is banned, men and women are separated during work and meal times and any outside literature is prohibited. After her brother-in-law is locked away and tortured for breaking the rules, Rosie begins to question the motives behind her strict, religious cult as her husband Adam (Asa Butterfield) rises up its sinister ranks.
