There are plenty of spiritual TV projects in the works (NBC’s A.D.: Beyond the Bible, Fox’s Nazareth), but several shows are taking the programming trend in a different direction—examining the dark side of the supernatural. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are teaming up with former Breaking Bad co-producer Sam Catlin to adapt the controversial comic Preacher, the story of a minister possessed by a supernatural being. Here are four more series that are exploring darkness and spirituality:
###The Lost Years
Controversial horror director Eli Roth imagines Jesus’ early years—as an exorcist—for the History Channel.
###Constantine
NBC is adapting the DC Comics series about an occult detective this fall. Sadly, this version will be Keanu-free.
###Damien
Lifetime’s spinoff of The Omen features a look at the dramatic coming-of-age years of the future Antichrist.
###The Leftovers
HBO and Lost mastermind Damon Lindelof are behind the new TV adaptation of the 2011 novel about a global rapture.
