Filming is underway on Netflix’s exciting new psychological thriller limited series, Out of the Dust. The show features a standout cast that includes Sex Education’s Asa Butterfield and Three Girls’ Molly Windsor. They play the central characters of Adam and Rosie, a married couple living in a secular Christian community. We’ll be keeping track of all the latest news and updates for Out of the Dust on Netflix.

Out of the Dust is an upcoming Netflix Original psychological thriller limited series created by Julie Gearey. The Intergalactic creator is also a writer and executive producer on the series. Gaerey is also working on the upcoming Netflix series Saalsberg Sisters.

Myar Craig-Brown (Vera) and Iona Vrolyk (Holby City) are executive producers for Double Dutch Productions. Nick Pitt (Black Mirror) is a producer. Jim Loach (Save Me) and Philippa Langdale (The Capture) will direct the series. Catherine Derry (The Great) is Director of Photography

We caught wind of Out of the Dust earlier this year and reached out to Netflix about this project in February 2024, who didn’t comment. 

What is the plot of Out of the Dust?

The story centers around the married couple Rosie and Adam. With their daughter, they live in a secluded Christian community, where the arrival of Sam, an escaped prisoner, upends their lives. As an outsider, Sam brings a new perspective to Rosie’s world, shining a light on her reality and the constraints she has been forced to live under. As Sam’s influence begins to reveal cracks in Rosie and Adam’s marriage, he positions himself as her savior, and she must ask herself where the greatest danger lies?— with the cult or with Sam?

Who are the cast members of Out of the Dust?

Netflix has confirmed the five Out of the Dust leads: Molly Windsor, Asa Butterfield, Christopher Eccleston, Siobhan Finneran, and Fra Free.

Asa Butterfield and Molly Windsor play the roles of married couple Adam and Rosie. Butterfield has been one of the standout stars on Netflix thanks to his role as Otis in the raunchy coming-of-age comedy Sex Education. As for Windsor, who has yet to star in a Netflix Original, has starred in television shows such as War of the Worlds, Traces, and Cheat. However, she is most well known for her great performance in the hard-hitting BBC drama Three Girls as Holly Winshaw.

Fra Free plays Sam, an escaped prisoner who might be Rosie’s liberation from her hidden religious community. He was recently seen on Netflix in Zak Snyder’s Rebel Moon as Balisarius. He also starred as Kazi in the Disney+ series Hawkeye and Courfeyrac in Tom Hooper’s film adaptation of Les Misérables.
