The story follows as a woman calling herself Octavia and claiming to be the daughter of God is gathering followers, who take up houses enclosing a garden in Bedford that they believe to be the original site of Eden. One young member of the new cult, in which members are required to spy on each other and report even the smallest transgression, isn\u2019t there by choice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hillbilly was co-founded by Polly Leys and Kate Norrish, whose collective credits include <i>The Full Monty <\/i>and <i>Second Coming,<\/i> starring Idris Elba. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Leys said: \u201cHillbilly has a great track record in producing distinctive TV drama with international appeal. We\u2019re delighted that Netflix\u2019s acquisition of <em>Loaded<\/em> will bring the show to a global audience. Our next challenge is to keep up this level of achievement and we believe we\u2019ve found the perfect vehicle in <em>The Rapture<\/em>. It has everything: a mesmerizing but unknown story based on real events, written by a writer of rare talent.
