The CW has set a Feb. 19 premiere date for “Cult,” its new series about an underground television show hosted by a charismatic sociopath with powerful influence over his viewership. Alien Nation and “Farscape” writer Rockne S. O’Bannon created the show with “Chuck” and “Gossip Girl” creator Josh Schwartz.

“Cult” follows journalist Jeff Sefton (Matthew Davis) and research assistant Skye (Jessica Lucas) as they investigates cult leader Billy Grimm (Robert Knepper) in the hopes of discovering what has happened to Jeff’s missing brother Nate.

Alona Tal (pictured above) costars in the series as someone named Kelly Collins. Horror fans will recognize the 29-year-old stunner from IFC Midnight’s immigration thriller Undocumented and her recurring roles on The CW’s “Supernatural” and “Veronica Mars.”
