Hulu’s “The Path” depicts a religious movement — really, a cult — one that is most definitely not social commentary on Scientology, the series creator clarified.
“No, I guess the Internet is full of misinformation,” Jessica Goldberg told reporters Saturday at the Television Critics Association press event. “I’m a sort of faith-interested person, but I don’t follow anything [specific].”
“This show really came out of a more personal experience for me, where a few years ago I had the double-whammy of losing a parent and getting divorced in one year,” the executive producer continued. “I found my little universe I deeply believed in.”
She also grew up in Woodstock, so there’s that exposure to the hippie-dippy.
Anyway, eat that, online rumors.
“The Path” stars Aaron Paul, Michelle Monaghan, Rockmond Dunbar and Hugh Dancy. In addition to Goldberg, Jason Katims is also executive producing the streaming series.
