The limited series, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Daria
Polatin, will hit Netflix on September 2. The trailer gives a glimpse at the
murderous intentions of a cult and Mae’s secretive past. Soon, the sheriffs
start unfolding the truths about satanic worship and sacrificial rituals in the
cult. Aside from Deschanel and Arthur, other cast members include Sam Jaeger,
Alisha Newton, Naomi Tan, Gerardo Celasco, Bradley Stryker, Tahmoh Penikett, and
Keenan Tracey, among others.


IS THE SHOW BASED ON REAL EVENTS?

In Devil in Ohio, Suzanne offers shelter to one of her patients and welcomes her
to live with her three daughters so she can feel safe among them. It is revealed
that Mae was an important member of the cult when she escaped. Moreover, as
shown in the teaser, it seems Mae isn’t that innocent when she is seen haunting
the house. And Suzanne’s eldest daughter, Jules (Xaria Dotson), is becoming her
target. With such a convoluted plot, is Devil in Ohio on Netflix a true story?

According to Tudum
[https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/devil-in-ohio-release-date-cast-news],
Polatin told them that the story has true origins in Ohio, and the executive
producer, Rachel Miller, has heard about these things happening in the city.
That said, the cult created in the show is fictional.
