Netflix's 'Pagans' Adds Sabine Grace, Logan Kim, Marin Ireland Opposite Steven Yeun
Netflix has set key cast opposite Steven Yeun in 'Pagans,' the supernatural drama from 'Say Nothing' creator Joshua Zetumer. Sabine Grace, Logan Kim, Marin Ireland and Intae Kim join the series, which follows a man who becomes the sole caretaker of his family.
Netflix has filled out the cast of «Pagans,» its upcoming supernatural drama led by Steven Yeun, adding Sabine Grace, Logan Kim, Marin Ireland and Intae Kim in starring roles. The series comes from Joshua Zetumer, the creator behind «Say Nothing,» and is described as a show that unearths the darkest thoughts about family.
The story centers on Gus, played by Yeun, who becomes the sole caretaker of his family. The newly announced cast members will appear opposite Yeun in the drama, which is being produced for the streaming service. Netflix has not yet announced a premiere date for the project.
The casting carries an unusual connection to Yeun's past work. The young leads joining «Pagans» have a meta «Walking Dead» twist, tying the new Netflix series back to the AMC zombie drama that helped make Yeun a star. Yeun played Glenn Rhee on «The Walking Dead» for several seasons, becoming one of the show's most recognizable faces before his character was killed off in the seventh season.
Marin Ireland is among the more established names joining the ensemble. She has built a reputation across film, television and theater, with credits spanning independent cinema and prestige series. Her addition gives «Pagans» a seasoned dramatic presence alongside its younger cast members.
Sabine Grace, Logan Kim and Intae Kim round out the newly announced group. Details about their specific characters have not been disclosed, and Netflix has kept plot information about the supernatural drama under wraps beyond its central premise.
Zetumer's involvement gives the project a notable pedigree. He created «Say Nothing,» the FX limited series adapted from Patrick Radden Keefe's book about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which earned widespread critical acclaim. «Pagans» marks his move into supernatural territory for Netflix.
The series is one of several high-profile projects in the streaming pipeline as Netflix continues to invest in creator-driven dramas with established stars. Yeun, an Oscar nominee for «Minari» and a key cast member of «Beef,» has become one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood, and his attachment to «Pagans» has made it a closely watched title.
Netflix has not released further casting information or a production timeline for «Pagans.» The series joins a crowded slate of supernatural and family dramas at the streamer, where genre storytelling has become a reliable draw for subscribers.
