One might expect that the first time Andrew Garfield would meet Daisy Edgar-Jones on the small screen would be for a love story. On the contrary, the new series under construction, Under the Banner of Heaven, is a story of true crime and mystery.
The series will be based on the book of the same name by Jon Krakauer
Daisy Edgar-Jones in the series plays a young, religious woman who belongs to the Mormon Church. But when she is violently murdered, a new detective comes along, who is also a Mormon. Trying to unravel the tangle of events that led to the brutal murder of the woman, he begins to question his own faith and religion. Specifically, through this research, he tries to understand the roots of the religion in which he believes. However, the more he discovers, the more his world is shaken.
This is the first role of Andrew Garfield on the small screen
It seems that the actor made a very good choice to start from now on more appearances in series and not only in movies. As for Daisy Edgar-Jones, she proves once again that she can fulfill any role, especially after her participation in Normal People, but also Fresh.
The story is a riveting one, as Jon Krakauer did years of research to reach his conclusions. Shocked by this double murder in the 1980s, he decided to investigate the Mormon sect in depth. But what he understood, and what we will see in the series, is how a simple misinterpretation of what a religion proclaims can become the occasion for the most heinous and heinous crimes.
Dustin Lance Black, who also grew up in Mormon culture and religion, is the creator of the series. Through Under the Banner of Heaven he wanted to highlight the horrific crimes that can happen in the name and altar of religion.
