A new teaser for AMC Networks’ forthcoming horror-thriller What Josiah Saw has been released ahead of its August 4, 2022 launch on Shudder, the premium streaming service dedicated to all things terrifying. Josiah, played by Robert Patrick, tells his youngest son, Thomas (Scott Haze), that there is a method to “rescue his mother,” who is shown hanging from the tree. Only Josiah and Thomas remain at their family’s ancient farmhouse, which the townspeople believe to be haunted, along with the rest of their estranged relatives.
For the 1st time in more than two decades, Josiah’s eldest children Eli (Nick Stahl) and Mary (Kelli Garner) come to the family house with the hopes of selling the ageing property and putting the past behind them once and for all. Upon their return home, they find that their father has been experiencing “visions from beyond” and has taken the decision to rectify the tremendous wrongs of his family’s past, which they were unaware of. Craig Engler, the general manager of Shudder, spoke to Deadline about the film and its creative team.
