CW is hoping to claim some of the same success Fox just had with “The Following” with a cult show of their own titled, fittingly, “Cult”. Instead of a band of followers inspired by an incarcerated serial killer, “Cult” has a group of people replicating crimes they see on a TV series called, yes, “Cult.” Cults are the new vampires.
Entertainment Weekly has just debuted the poster for the series, which you can see above. Sort of creepy, no? You can check out a long preview for “Cult,” which commences on February 19th, below.
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…
