Granted, we’ve known for some time that Hannibal stars Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen were released from their contracts, it’s a different kind of gut stab to see them actually line up new gigs. Dancy at least, is off to a fine start, joining Breaking Bad alum Aaron Paul in Jason Katims’ new Hulu faith drama The Way.

Created by writer-executive producer Jessica Goldberg, with Parenthood alum Katims and Michelle Lee also producing, Hulu’s The Way follows a family at the center of a controversial movement struggling with relationships, marriage and power, each episode taking an in-depth look at the choice between “the life we live and the life we want.”

Paul will take the role of Eddie Cleary, convert to the controversial movement with a wayward past of his own, while Dancy will play Cal Roberts, charismatic face of “The Way.” Roberts is also “entangled in a complicated relationship” with Eddie and his wife, Sarah (True Detective star Michelle Monaghan), battling personal demons and bold ambition as he strives to take the organization into its next generation.
