Paul Bettany has joined the cast of Pagans, a new Netflix supernatural drama. He will play Mag, a charismatic stranger, opposite Steven Yeun. The show follows Gus (Yeun), who raises his two children alone after his wife dies. His daughter Alice is not like other children, and the strained father-daughter relationship turns sinister. Sabine Grace, Logan Kim, Marin Ireland and Intae Kim also star.
π The Backstory
Joshua Zetumer, who created Say Nothing, is the showrunner and executive producer. Drew Goddard and Sarah Esberg are among the other producers, and Yeun produces through Celadon Pictures. Bettany is known for playing Vision in Marvel's Avengers films and the Disney+ series WandaVision, which earned him an Emmy nomination. He recently starred in VisionQuest and in Amadeus as Salieri.
π― Why It Matters
Netflix is betting on a dark family drama with two well-known leads and a creator behind a hit show, a common recipe for success.
