Andrew Garfield is solving a crime in 'Under the Banner of Heaven,' a new series directed by Isabel Sandoval and David Mackenzie
Based off of the 2003 nonfiction book from Jon Krakauer, “Under the Banner of Heaven” focuses on a double murder committed by Ron and Dan Lafferty, two Mormon brothers who killed their sister-in-law Brenda and niece Erica in 1984. The brothers were former members of the School of Prophets, a small fundamentalist Mormon group, and Ron claimed he received visions from God ordering him to commit the murders.
The miniseries adaptation of the book will focus on Pyre , the police detective assigned to investigate the Lafferty case. As he untangles the mystery and finds evidence linking the church to the crime, Pyre, a devout Mormon himself, undergoes an ugly crisis of faith. The trailer sees the detective examining the crime scene, juxtaposed with scenes of a baptism and life in small-town Utah.
“The evidence points to things and beliefs that I’ve only ever heard whisperings about,” Garfield narrates in the teaser. “I wonder how something so horrific could have come to pass.” This marks the first lead television role for Garfield, who has until now focused on film and theater. Garfield is a current Oscar nominee for his lead performance in the Netflix musical “Tick, Tick…Boom!” and recently reprised his role as Peter Parker in the smash-hit superhero film “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Brenda Lafferty, while Ron and Dan Lafferty are portrayed by Sam Worthington and Wyatt Russell.
“Under the Banner of Heaven” was initially intended to be adapted into a feature film in 2011, with Dustin Lance Black attached to write and Ron Howard slated as director. Black serves as showrunner for the series and directed an episode. David Mackenzie and Isabel Sandoval also direct. Mackenzie and Black executive produce along with Howard, Jason Bateman, Gillian Berrie, Michael Costigan, Anna Culp, and Brian Grazer.
