Devil In Ohio Adaptation (Netflix 2022): Everything We Know So Far About The Thrilling New Series

The Devil In Ohio adaptation, based on YA horror book by Daria Polatin, is going to be a fun one for fans of thrillers. This seems like a project made for a Fall release on Netflix, right in time for spooky season. I think horror fans are going to be all over this adaptation. Also a great rewatch whenever you want something scary.

About The Book:

When fifteen-year-old Jules Mathis comes home from school to find a strange girl, her mother explains that Mae is one of her patients at the hospital and will be staying with their family for a few days. But shortly after, Mae is wearing Jules’ clothes, sleeping in her bedroom, edging her out of her position on the school paper, and kissing Jules’s crush. Then things get weird.
Jules walks in on a half-dressed Mae, she’s startled to see a pentagram carved into her back. Soon white roses start turning up on the front porch, a rabid dog bites one of Jules’ sisters, and Jules’ parents, who never fight, start arguing behind closed doors.
Jules pieces clues together and discovers that Mae may be a survivor of the strange cult that has taken over a nearby town. And they will stop at nothing to get Mae back.
