Devil in Ohio release date, cast, synopsis, trailer, and more

Temperance Brennan is officially back on our television this September, Bones fans! Well, she won’t be playing Bones, obviously, but Emily Deschanel is the lead in Netflix series Devil in Ohio, a cult thriller perfectly timed to get you in the mood for the upcoming spooky season!

The upcoming show is based on the novel of the same name (which itself is inspired by a true story) by Daria Polatin and Polatin is heavily involved with the show as the showrunner and writer, meaning fans of the book should expect a faithful adaptation.

What is the “devil” doing in Ohio, you might ask? Well, it actually sounds like a cult is responsible for luring him there. Deschanel plays hospital psychiatrist Dr. Suzanne Mathis who takes it upon herself to look out for a young cult escapee named Mae (Madeleine Arthur).

Devil in Ohio release date

All eight episodes of the limited series will premiere next Friday, September 2, 2022 on Netflix.
