Hulu's new 10-episode drama, The Path, executive produced by Friday Night Lights' Jason Katims and Jessica Goldberg (who created the series), dives deep into an upstate New York family who are members of a nebulous "light/truth"-based cult called Meyerism.
Sarah Lane (True Detective's Michelle Monaghan) was born into the Meyerist sect and always been a true believer, while her husband Eddie (Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul) joined up later in life after finding its author's books following a family tragedy.
