Set to premiere date has just been announced for Hulu‘s new eight-episode series “The Clearing,” a psychological thriller based on the best-selling crime thriller ‘In The Clearing’ by author J.P. Pomare, which explores the true story of real-life cults in Australia and around the world.
Filmed across Victoria, “The Clearing” is an emotional and psychological thriller that follows the nightmares of a cult and a woman forced to face the demons from her past to stop the kidnapping and coercion of innocent children in the future.
The cast for this series includes Teresa Palmer (“Discovery of Witches”), Miranda Otto (“The Unusual Suspects,” “Homeland”), and Guy Pearce (“Jack Irish,” “Mare of Easttown”), who lead a stellar line-up of Australian talent, including Hazem Shammas (“Safe Harbour”), Mark Coles-Smith (“Mystery Road”), Kate Mulvany (“The Twelve”) and rising star Julia Savage (“Blaze,” “Mr. Inbetween”).
“The Clearing” is directed by Jeffrey Walker (“Young Rock,” “Lambs of God”) and Gracie Otto (“Seriously Red,” “Bump,” “Deadloch”). The series is created and written by Elise McCredie (“Stateless”) and Matt Cameron (“Jack Irish”), with co-writer Osamah Sami (“Ali’s Wedding”).
The series, which makes its premiere on Hulu on May 24, 2023, burrows under the skin and inside the mind, blurring the lines between past and present, reality and nightmare, in a truly unnerving way.
