From a press release, Bell Media:

From the producers of Chuck and Gossip Girl, CTV Two’s new fictitious midseason series Cult (premiers Feb. 19 at 9 p.m. ET on CTV Two) tracks a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances surrounding the parallel worlds of a TV show-within-a-TV-show.  For more information on Cult click here.

While uncovering the mysteries surrounding Cult, we noticed the series has developed its own real-life “cult” – a sect of Canadian connections. Not only is Cult shot entirely in Vancouver, B.C., but the series also features a number of Canadian actors/actresses throughout its episodes:

The gruesome plot twists on Cult are much more than fantasy for some very unfortunate people, with its hardcore fans just “dying” to see what happens next…but seeing is deceiving when Cult premieres Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV Two (encore presentations air Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on SPACE, beginning Feb. 22).
