Here’s everything else we know about Devil in Ohio: What’s the Netflix release date for Devil in Ohio? Devil in Ohio makes its Netflix debut on Friday, September 2nd, 2022! What’s the plot of Devil in Ohio? Netflix’s Devil in Ohio will be based on the 2017 novel of the same name by author Daria Polatin. It is based on a true story and Polatin originally wrote a version of it as a TV pilot, so this limited series comes full circle in a way. Polatin commented on this in an interview with Book Room Reviews: I was interested in writing about what happens to people when they’ve been in isolated communities, and wrote a TV pilot about a cult. Then when I heard the true story of a teenage girl who escaped from a satanic cult and moved in with her psychiatrist’s family, I had to tell it. A novel seemed like an exciting way to write that story, and the true events became the inspiration for Mae, Jules and the Mathis family. Devil in Ohio explores the timeless struggle between good and evil, and the strength it takes to overcome the adversity of your past. Here is the story synopsis for Devil in Ohio as seen on Polatin’s official website: When fifteen-year-old Jules Mathis comes home from school to find a strange girl sitting in her kitchen, her psychiatrist mother reveals that Mae is one of her patients at the hospital and will be staying with their family for a few days. But soon Mae is wearing Jules’s clothes, sleeping in her bedroom, edging her out of her position on the school paper, and flirting with Jules’s crush. And Mae has no intention of leaving. Then things get weird. Jules walks in on a half-dressed Mae, startled to see: a pentagram carved into Mae’s back. Jules pieces together clues and discovers that Mae is a survivor of the strange cult that’s embedded in a nearby town. And the cult will stop at nothing to get Mae back. Asked about the details of the origins of the story, Polatin replied: The book is based on a true story, the background of which I will keep under wraps, but a lot of what happens in the book actually occurred. I took artistic license in order to fill in the blanks and flesh the story out in a way that worked for a book. Devil in Ohio – Picture. Haven Entertainment Who is cast in Devil in Ohio?
