Ti West, Jennifer Lynch and more to direct episodes of South of Hell

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

WE tv is getting in the horror business with a new supernatural thriller entitled “South of Hell”, which will see a handful of genre directors take a seat to helm different episodes of the show. Back in October we learned that none other than THE GREEN INFERNO director Eli Roth had been tapped to direct the pilot episode. Joining Roth for some “South of Hell” shenanigans is THE SACRAMENT’s Ti West, Rachel Talalay (“Doctor Who,” TANK GIRL), Jennifer Lynch (“The Walking Dead,” “Teen Wolf”), and Jeremiah Chechik (“Helix,” “Reign”).

Premiering in 2015, “South of Hell” is a supernatural thriller set in South Carolina, focusing on…

…Maria Abascal (Suvari), a stunning demon-hunter-for-hire whose power stems from within. Like those she hunts, Maria is divided within herself, struggling with her own demon, Abigail, who resides inside of her, feeding on the evil Maria exorcises from others. Maria and Abigail share a soul and a destiny, but as Maria desperately tries to overtake Abigail, she will discover how far Abigail will go to remain a part of her.

Mena Suvari takes the dual role of Maria Abascal and her inner demon, Abigail. The cast also includes Zachary Booth as David Abascal, Maria’s brother; Bill Irwin as Enos Abascal, Maria and David’s father and cult leader; Drew Moerlein as Dusty, Maria’s neighbor; Lamman Rucker as Rev. Elijah Bledsoe, a priest with a strong attraction to Maria; Paulina Singer as the Reverend’s daughter, Grace; Lydia Hearst as Southern belle Charlotte Roberts; Slate Holmgren as the local drug dealer, Sweetmouth; and Lauren Velez as Tetra, a spiritual informant.
