Is Under the Banner of Heaven on Stan?

Tragically, the terrifying events that take place in Under The Banner Of Heaven are based on a true story.

Brothers Ron Lafferty—a self-professed prophet—and Dan Lafferty were convicted of murdering their sister-in-law, Brenda Wright Lafferty and her baby daughter, in July 1984.

The heinous act was believed to be the result of Ron’s religious views, claiming he received a revelation ordering him to kill Brenda and her daughter.

The series investigates not only the crime, but also the "isolated American communities where some 40,000 Mormon Fundamentalists still practice polygamy".

He also starred in “The Amazing Spider-Man” films, “Hacksaw Ridge” and “The Social Network” (streaming on Netflix).

Edgar-Jones is most known for another Hulu series, “Normal People,” based on novelist Sally Rooney’s book of the same name. She was also in the streamer’s black comedy-thriller “Fresh,” opposite Sebastian Stan.
