Josh Hartnetttransports viewers to small town Mississippi in the first trailer for his new Spectrum Originals seriesParadise Lost.
“He won’t ever talk to me about his sister.
Every time I bring her up, he goes dark on me.”
The story of the Forsythe siblings unravels as slowly as Mississippi molasses during a special Sunday brunch.
Drop by drop, the story gets stickier and the tale even tastier.
“Here’s the thing you have to understand about Yates' older sister, Janus Forsythe.
She was a painting prodigy who developed into a once-a-generation talent,” Fishburne explains.
They called her, ‘an old master in a young body.’
The Judge [Nick Nolte] sheltered her on their family property.
Janus is in many ways the opposite of Frances, the woman Yates married in Palo Alto.
Janus is irrational, wild, creative, while Frances is logical, rational, and empirical.
The series has elements of the supernatural kind, though they aren’t obvious from the beginning.
“She was charismatic, intelligent, and beautiful.
Her power was the ability to stand astride the line between the rational and the irrational.
In another time she would have been called a ‘circe.'”
The relationship between these two sisters is a red thread that runs through the story."
Paradise Lostdebuts April 13.
