Andrew Garfield in first look at Disney Plus crime thriller
Under the Banner of Heaven also stars Daisy Edgar-Jones.
Andrew Garfield has been busy in recent months, whether it's landing an Oscar nomination for Tick, Tick...Boom! or starring in a little film called Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Now he's set to appear in his first leading TV role, in FX true-crime drama Under the Banner of Heaven – and it's just been confirmed that the limited series is coming to Disney Plus in the UK.
A first look at the eerie thriller in the above picture shows Garfield investigating a horrific case, while the recent teaser trailer also offers a glimpse of co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People).
The series is based on the true-crime bestseller of the same name by Jon Krakauer, and follows the events that led to the 1984 murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter in Salt Lake Valley, Utah.
Garfield plays Detective Jeb Pyre, a devout Mormon who begins to question his own faith after unearthing horrible truths about the consequences of unyielding faith.
