Disney+ has unveiled a teaser for the upcoming limited series Under the Banner of Heaven, from writer Dustin Lance Black.

FX’s “Under the Banner of Heaven,” inspired by the true crime bestseller by Jon Krakauer, follows the events that led to the 1984 murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter in a suburb in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah.

As Detective Jeb Pyre (Andrew Garfield) investigates events that transpired within the Lafferty family, he uncovers buried truths about the origins of the LDS religion and the violent consequences of unyielding faith. What Pyre, a devout Mormon, unearths leads him to question his own faith.

“Under the Banner of Heaven” is created by Academy Award®-winner Dustin Lance Black, who also serves as showrunner and executive producer.

  1. For some reason this series makes me think of the Chilean / German made series ‘Colony’ shown on SBS on Demand, which was well made but sometimes grueling to watch with its themes.
