Riveting Trailer for Hulu Docuseries DAUGHTERS OF THE CULT About Extremist Mormon Cult Leader and His Daughters Who Survived It
ABC News Studios has teamed with Hulu to bring us the docuseries Daughters of The Cult, which follows the daughters of an extremist Mormon cult leader who escaped the group and are ready to share their story.
Daughters of the Cult “is a shocking five-episode deep-dive into the history of the polygamous Ervil LeBaron cult told directly through the eyes of the people who were there. Hidden in plain sight throughout the Southwest and Mexico, a splinter group of Mormon fundamentalist cult members perpetrate a deadly wave of violence and abuse for decades in the name of their fanatical prophet Ervil LeBaron, dubbed the ‘Mormon Manson.’ Survivors, relatives of killers, and law enforcement now come forward to paint an emotional and grisly picture of a brutal madman ordering cold-blooded executions. Despite running from the FBI for most of their young lives there is triumph, healing, and sisterhood for the brave few who escape the cult and begin anew.”
This looks like a fascinating new look at yet another extremist sect of Mormons run by a psycho, but with a crazy new twist, that this guy was assassinating anyone who got in his way. It’s good to see that the adult children who escaped are now able to tell their story and cope with what was done to them.
All five episodes of Daughters of The Cult are set to hit Hulu on January 4th. Check out the trailer below:
