Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Apple TV has acquired Ascension, a new series from Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron.
The streaming service announced in a press release Monday that Outlander actress Caitriona Balfe will star in and executive produce the new psychological horror thriller.
Based on the Adam Nevill novel Last Days, Ascension follows Rose, a documentary filmmaker and recent divorcee "who is brilliant at uncovering others' truths but struggling to resolve her own."
"When Rose begins a project on a mysterious 20th-century cult known as the Church of Ascension, she finds unexpected refuge in its teachings -- until she discovers something far more insidious beneath," an official synopsis reads.
