‘Under the Banner of Heaven’: Dustin Lance Black Talks About His New Mini-Series & His Real-Life Struggle with the Mormon Faith [Bingeworthy Podcast]

The Playlist Podcast Network

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our revitalized TV and streaming podcast, co-hosts Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez dive into Hulu’s new mystery series, “Under the Banner of Heaven”. The show follows a devout Mormon detective Pyre (played by Andrew Garfield) whose faith is tested as he investigates a brutal murder seemingly connected to an esteemed Utah family's spiral into LDS Mormon fundamentalism and their distrust in the government (read our Season 3 review here).

After our hosts discuss the show, writer/director/showrunner Dustin Lance Black stops by to chat with Rodrigo about making the series and the very personal reasons he chose to adapt the famous Jon Krakauer book of the same name.
