Cult
Seeing is deceiving.
Created by Rockne S. O'Bannon
On The CW
A paranoid thriller about the blurred line between fiction and reality, where obsessive fandom becomes a vehicle for real-world violence.
After a rash of disappearances and a likely murder, an inquisitive, young female production assistant on a wildly popular television show called Cult joins a journalist blogger in investigating the rabid fans of the series who might be re-creating crimes seen on the program, in real life.
