What is Unchosen About?

According to the official description, Unchosen will be a thrilling and deeply psychological story of a woman named Rosie, who plays the role of a wife and mother in her family, living in an enclosed and highly cult-like Christian community. But somewhere deep inside, she feels hollow and empty as a world of restrictions has been put upon her by the community she lives in, and her husband, Adam.

But one day, her small world changes completely, as she has a chance encounter with a man named Sam, who is an escaped convict from prison that law enforcement is looking for. And she tries to help him, she begins to find solace in Sam’s presence as time goes by, which takes her away from her conservative Christian beliefs and towards committing adultery.

And as time goes by, she experiences more and more events that make her question her true emotions and desires, bringing her to a crossroad: Does she want a peaceful life with her husband and family in her community, or does she seek a life with Sam as they grow closer?

Is There a Trailer for Unchosen?

Yes, the trailer for Unchosen was recently released, which gives us more insight as to what we can expect from the upcoming thriller mini-series, created by Julie Gearey, of Intergalactic fame. Here, we get our first proper look at Molly Windsor in the role of Rosie, while Asa Butterfield completely ditches his Sex Education image and gives us a look at his character, Adam.

Here, we come to know the name of this Christian community, which is called the Fellowship of the Divine, and how the rules and restrictions created by doctrines are affecting the lives of Rosie and many others in the community.
