Overview
- Steven Yeun was announced as the series lead (playing Gus) and an executive producer on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, providing the first public casting update for Pagans.
- The show was created by Joshua Zetumer, who will serve as showrunner and an executive producer following Netflix’s straight-to-series order after a 2025 bidding war.
- Drew Goddard and Sarah Esberg’s Goddard Textiles, Jonathan van Tulleken, Erica Kay, and Christina Oh’s Celadon Pictures are also attached as executive producers.
- Netflix’s logline describes Pagans as a supernatural family drama about a widower whose strained relationship with his daughter Alice takes a sinister turn.
- The series remains in early development with no trailer, premiere date, or additional casting announced, so the next milestones to watch are further casting, a production start date, and release timing.
