Amanda Plummer, Christopher Chung and T’Nia Miller Cast in Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV Series ‘Ascension’

Expanding Cast for Upcoming Psychological Thriller

Apple TV's upcoming psychological horror thriller series Ascension has added Amanda Plummer, Christopher Chung, and T’Nia Miller as series regulars. The trio joins a growing ensemble cast that already includes lead actress and executive producer Caitríona Balfe, alongside Bill Nighy.

The project is spearheaded by filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón and is inspired by Adam Nevill’s novel Last Days.

Premise and Production Details

Ascension follows Rose, played by Caitríona Balfe, who is described as a relentless documentary filmmaker and recently divorced mother. While skilled at exposing the truths of others, she struggles to navigate her own personal conflicts. The plot centers on Rose's new project investigating a mysterious 20th-century cult known as the Church of Ascension. Initially finding solace in the group's teachings, she eventually uncovers darker, more dangerous elements lurking underneath.

The narrative themes explore the boundaries of evil and innocence, examining the lengths individuals will go to and the sacrifices they will make to protect loved ones, even if the primary threat originates from within.

Apple Studios is producing the series. Executive producers include Gabriela Rodriguez and Richard Schwartz for Esperanto Filmoj, alongside Alfonso Cuarón and Carlos Cuarón. Steve Golin, David Levine, and Zack Hayden executive produce for Anonymous Content, alongside James and White, who also contribute to the writing team alongside the Cuaróns. James serves as the lead director, with Anonymous Content handling production.
