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 young daughter in 1984. The series premiered on April 28, 2022, on FX on Hulu.[1][2] 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.
The series earned positive reviews, particularly for the performances of Garfield and Wyatt Russell. However, it also reignited controversy about depictions of the LDS faith,[3] and the victims' relatives and police involved in the case noted the series deviated substantially from the facts.
