Disney has announced details on a new true crime series “How I Escaped My Cult”, which will be coming soon to Freeform, Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.

The riveting 10-episode series takes viewers into insidious modern-day cults through the unique lens of members who endured unspeakable trauma and the shocking investigations into these oppressive groups. With detailed, firsthand accounts from former cult members, their loved ones, and the investigators who helped bring these tormentors to justice, each episode follows the unique and harrowing journey of a survivor from their earliest cult experiences and revelations all the way up to their heart-pounding escapes. 

Check out the “How I Escaped My Cult” trailer below:

“How I Escaped My Cult” is executive produced by David Karabinas, Brad Bernstein, Greg Spring, Ivy Brown, James Macnab, John X. Kim, Ray Dotch, Rick Cikowski and Chip Rives. The series is narrated by Emmy Award-winning journalist Tamron Hall.

“How I Escaped My Cult” premieres with two episodes on Thursday, 20th February 2025 at 9-11 p.m. EST, on Freeform.  A new episode will be released weekly at 10 p.m. EST thereafter. The full season will be available on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+, in addition to STBVOD (or OnDemand) on Friday, 21st February 2025. 

It hasn’t been announced if “How I Escaped My Cult” will also be released as a Star Original on Disney+ internationally, but considering the logo for this new show looks like the original series, “How I Caught My Killer”, which was released globally, I’d expect it to likely arrive internationally at a later date.
