About Under the Banner of Heaven TV Series
Under the Banner of Heaven is an American true crime drama television miniseries created by Dustin Lance Black, based on the 2003 non-fiction book by Jon Krakauer about the case of brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty who killed their sister-in-law and her young daughter in 1984. Andrew Garfield and Gil Birmingham star as two detectives investigating a brutal murder and its connections to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the LDS Church or informally as Mormons.
Initially intended to be adapted as a film beginning in 2011, it was announced in June 2021 that it would now be developed as a miniseries, with Dustin Lance Black retained as screenwriter and David Mackenzie serving as director. Andrew Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones were cast to star. The cast was rounded out in August, with Sam Worthington, Wyatt Russell, Denise Gough, Rory Culkin, and Gil Birmingham among the new additions.
[A] criticism was the overuse of the word “brother”. Everyone calls [each other] “brother” and “sister” in the show. And while that does happen in Utah — especially in the 80s, especially in small towns — I agree that it’s sort of overused to our ears. But again we’re trying to communicate that this is an insular community where everybody’s a member of this organization, to someone who has no outside interaction with Mormonism.
Lindsay Hansen Park (of the Sunstone Education Foundation) and Troy Williams (of Equality Utah) worked as cultural and historical consultants. Lindsay says that when the show’s creator employed her, he said her job was to “keep us honest.”
Filming in Calgary began in August 2021 and was completed in December 2021.
