What happens

Unchosen is a British psychological thriller television series created and written by Julie Gearey, released on Netflix on 21 April 2026. The six-part series stars Molly Windsor as Rosie, a woman living within a strict, isolated religious sect whose life is disrupted by a chance encounter with an escaped convict, played by Fra Fee. The series premiered on Netflix on 21 April 2026. Upon release, it became a global streaming success, reaching number one in 69 countries. Inspired by real-life experiences in high-control religious communities, the show borrows specifically from the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and other ultra-conservative groups to inform its themes of indoctrination and trauma. The production further established this connection by filming key scenes in a former Plymouth Brethren gospel hall in Harrow, London, and lead actor Asa Butterfield reportedly studied documentaries on the organization to prepare for his role.
