If you've just finished bingeing Trust Me: The False Prophet, Netflix has a new fictionalized cult drama for you to dive into next. Inspired by showrunner Julie Gearey's brief encounter with a young conservative woman, Unchosen follows Rosie (Molly Windsor), a young mother who becomes entwined with a mysterious, but charismatic outsider named Sam (Fra Fee) when he saves her daughter Grace (Olivia Pickering) from drowning.
Rosie welcomes Sam into their tight-knit community and begins a romantic relationship with him, and his presence ignites her desire to leave her abusive marriage and the strict confines of their sect. Soon, even her devout husband Adam (Asa Butterfield) takes a strong liking to their newest neighbor. But as details about Sam's life, including that he's an escaped convict serving time for murder, slowly come to light, it threatens everything they've built and believe in—for better or worse.
