PASADENA: A new anthology series exploring American cult personas is coming to A&E, in a partnership with Jake Gyllenhaal, Nine Stories Productions and A+E Studios.<\/p>\n
The series will explore a different cult persona each season, starting off with the notorious Jim Jones story. A+E Networks will handle global sales for the series, which originated in development at A+E Studios last year. Gyllenhaal (End of Watch<\/em>, Nightcrawler<\/em>, Southpaw<\/em>) and Riva Marker (Beasts of No Nation<\/em>, The Kids Are All Right<\/em>) will executive produce through their production banner, Nine Stories Productions.<\/p>\n \u201cRiva and I founded Nine Stories to push creative limits, and have found a wonderful partner in A&E with this fascinating series,\u201d Gyllenhaal stated. \u201cJim Jones is a complex character\u2014one who has found his way into the collective unconscious. We want to focus on the undeniable magnetism of zealots and the danger of that kind of charisma, a notion not only pertinent to cult leaders but to the geo-political climate of today.”<\/p>\n A&E has also renewed its original docuseries Born This Way<\/em>, which looks at the lives of young adults with Down syndrome. The network is bringing back Bates Motel <\/em>for a fourth season, debuting March 7. The season premiere at 9 p.m. will be directly followed by the debut of the brand-new original scripted drama Damien<\/em>, a continuation of the classic horror film The Omen<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PASADENA: A new anthology series exploring American cult personas is coming to A&E, in a partnership with Jake Gyllenhaal, Nine Stories Productions and A+E Studios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[104,103,101,106,105,102],"class_list":["post-6709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-ae","tag-ae-networks","tag-ae-studios","tag-bates-motel","tag-damien","tag-jake-gyllenhaal"],"yoast_head":"\n
