The Path
Created by Jessica Goldberg
On Hulu
A psychologically interior drama that uses a cult setting to interrogate faith, manipulation, and the cost of belief on intimate relationships.
The Path explores the unknown and mysterious world of the cult-like Meyerist Movement in upstate New York. At the center of the movement lies Eddie, a conflicted husband; Sarah, his devoted wife; and Cal, an ambitious leader. We follow each as they contend with deep issues involving relationships, faith, and power.
