by Mishal Ali Zafar

Viewers are already buzzing about Netflix’s new series, The Order. The supernatural drama is centered around a university’s mysterious secret society and a college student who joins it in an effort to avenge his mother’s death. If some of the faces on the series look awfully familiar, it’s probably because the cast of The Order features some popular TV names.

The Order — a ten-part series that premiered on Netflix on Mar. 7 — tells the story of Jack, a college freshman who, along with his maternal grandfather Peter, is obsessed with getting revenge for the death of his mom. He purposefully manages to get himself recruited by the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose — a secret society on campus that is tied to magic and the supernatural. Through the Order, he befriends Alyssa, a campus tour guide who is much more involved with the secret society’s sinister drama than she lets on.

Soon after joining the Order, Jack realizes that magic and monsters are actually real when a creature starts tearing apart and murdering the Order’s new recruits. As he questions his mother’s involvement in all the drama, he begins to discover the truth about the secret society and its ties to his family.

To tell this intriguing horror story, Netflix put together an amazing cast, and here’s everything you need to know about them:
