You can’t have an adaptation about the deadly events that happened in Waco in 1993 without your David Koresh.
Paramount Network, the new name for Spike TV come January 2018, is kicking off its rebranding with “Waco,” a six-part miniseries based on the deadly shootout at the Branch Davidians compound.
The series features an all-star cast including Taylor Kitsch, who’s playing Koresh, the leader of a religious community that became the target of a federal investigation and subsequent standoff.
The 51-day standoff ended in the deaths of 76 men, women and children, including Koresh himself.
Paramount released the first look of Kitsch as Koresh, which you can view below.
