For those of you missing Aaron Paul on Breaking Bad, you’re not going to have to wait much longer to see him in something else.
Showcase has announced its spring TV schedule, and one of the most intriguing new programs is The Path, helmed by Friday Night Lights head writer and executive producer Jason Katims.
Starring Paul, Michelle Monaghan (True Detective), and Hugh Dancy (Hannibal), The Path follows a family caught in the middle of a controversial cult movement as they struggle with relationships, faith, and power.

Each episode takes an in-depth look at the gravitational pull of belief and what it means to choose between the life someone lives and the life they want. The series blends elements of mystery-thriller, romance, and mysticism. The Path will air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, beginning March 31.
Also new to Showcase come springtime is Hunters, a sci-fi thriller that follows FBI agent Flynn Carroll (Nathan Phillips, Wolf Creek), whose wife goes missing. His search leads him to a highly classified government organization — the Exo-Terrorism Unit (ETU) — who track and fight alien terrorists.
