Andrew Garfield is TV's next broody detective in FX's Under The Banner Of Heaven trailer
FX's limited true-crime series Under The Banner Of Heaven also stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Wyatt Russell. It premieres in April
Andrew Garfield swings out of MCU’s multiverse and into FX’s true-crime drama, Under The Banner Of Heaven. The show is based on Jon Krakauer’s nonfiction book of the same name. It follows the events that led to Brenda Wright Lafferty (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter’s murder in 1984 in a suburb in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah. The seven-episode limited series premieres in April.
As seen in the first trailer, Mormon police detective Jeb Pyre (Garfield) struggles to stomach a horrifying crime scene. The entire small town is shocked by the deaths of Brenda and her child, prompting Jeb to ask citizens during a press conference to lock their doors for a change. His investigation into the victim’s past and family life uncovers buried truths about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). A devout Jeb begins to question his own faith during the process.
