Alongside Butterfield, who plays the role of Adam, and Finneran as Mrs Phillips, the series will star Three Girls' Molly Windsor as Rosie, Hawkeye's Fra Fee as Sam and Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston as Mr Phillips.
Netflix's synopsis for the six-part show reads: "Rosie lives with her husband Adam and daughter in a cloistered Christian community.
"The fateful arrival of escaped prisoner Sam into her life, reveals the reality and restraints of her world; perhaps this hidden religious community doesn't have her best interests at heart.
"And, as the cracks begin to appear in her marriage, Sam presents as her saviour. But with his dark criminal past, where does the greatest danger lie – with the cult or with Sam?"

Out of the Dust comes from Intergalactic's Julie Gearey, with production commencing this month.
As well as this series, Butterfield is lining up a role in new movie thriller If She Burns, which also stars You's Victoria Pedretti, Hereditary's Alex Wolff (also writer and director) and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' Justice Smith.
The film focuses on Pedretti's "fiery" central character, who travels to Europe with her dysfunctional family following a traumatic event.
"There she finds refuge and danger in a turbulent affair with her enigmatic neighbour, which, along with increasing family tensions and mysterious wildfires, threaten to push her to breaking point," the synopsis adds.
Out of the Dust will stream on Netflix.
