The CW today announced the series premiere of the mind-bending, suspenseful new drama CULT on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET). Investigative journalist Jeff Sefton has learned to laugh off his younger brother Nate’s relentless string of obsessions, especially his latest rant that a hit TV show intends to harm him. However, when his brother mysteriously disappears, Jeff takes Nate’s paranoia seriously, and in the process uncovers the dark underworld of the TV series “Cult” and its rabid fans, who are obsessed with the show’s charismatic cult leader, Billy Grimm.
As the show’s gruesome plot twists begin to play out in the real world, Jeff enlists the help of a young research assistant Skye in a race to save Nate and unravel the mystery behind the TV series whose hardcore fans would literally kill to see what happens next…
The series stars Matt Davis (THE VAMPIRE DIARIES) as Jeff Sefton, Jessica Lucas (MELROSE PLACE) as Skye Yarrow, Alona Tal (SUPERNATURAL) as Kelly Collins and Robert Knepper (PRISON BREAK) as Billy Grimm.
CULT is from Fake Empire and Rockne S. O’Bannon Television in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, with executive producers Rockne S. O’Bannon (FARSCAPE), Josh Schwartz (GOSSIP GIRL), Stephanie Savage (HART OF DIXIE) and Len Goldstein.
Cult seems darker than most of CW’s other shows, but it also sounds intriguing. I’ll definitely check it out. I probably won’t have time to watch it right away because I work a lot of overtime at DISH in February and March, but I’ll save it on my DVR. My DISH Hopper has enough room in its two terabyte hard drive to save Cult’s entire season along with all my other shows, so it will be easy for me to check out the show whenever I have time. Hopefully it turns out well, and I enjoy it.
