Asa Butterfield (Sex Education), Fra Fee (Hawkeye), Molly Windsor (Three Girls), Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley) and Christopher Eccleston (True Detective: Night Country) will lead the six-part series.

Molly Windsor plays Rosie, a woman devoted to motherhood and marriage within a conservative Christian community. That is, until an encounter with escaped convict Sam (Fee) changes everything. Soon, Rosie finds herself on a journey of self-discovery, emancipation and sexual awakening.

She begins to see the cult for what it is, as it becomes clear that its adherents may not have her best interests at heart. However, Sam is hardly a safe bet either. Rosie must make an impossible choice, and decide where her loyalties lie.

The show is written by Julie Gearey, who is best known for creating the Sky sci-fi Intergalactic.

Filming commenced this month in the UK, directed by Jim Loach and Philippa Langdale. Iona Vrolyk and Myar Craig-Brown executive produce, while Mick Pitt is producing.

Out of the Dust is the first commission for Double Dutch Productions, which was set up in 2021 with backing from Banijay.
