Unchosen is the new British psychological thriller on Netflix, but what songs feature on the soundtrack? Find out below.
The show is set inside a closed religious cult and has been created and written by Julie Gearey, known for her work on Intergalactic and Prisoners’ Wives, while several episodes have been directed by Jim Loach, son of film-making great Ken.
The story centres on Rosie (Molly Windsor), a young mother living in a religious sect named the Fellowship of the Divine, alongside her controlling husband Adam (Asa Butterfield). Rosie meets an outsider named Sam (Fra Free), who shows her the possibilities of the outside world, but any attempts to escape will see her running up against the cult leader, played by Christopher Eccleston.
Check out the trailer for Unchosen here:
All six episodes of Unchosen dropped together on Netflix on April 21, with episodes running at between 40 and 60 minutes.
The series began life under the title Out Of The Dust and is the result of extensive research conducted by Gearey on real-life cults and sects, such as the patriarchal Plymouth Brethren. She spoke to survivors and the production even filmed in real meeting halls associated with cults to capture the claustrophobic atmosphere.
The show currently sits on a 50 per cent rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
