A new documentary series from HBO will pull back the curtain on La Luz del Mundo, a secretive and nontraditional Christian denomination, and the sexual abuse that several members, many of them minors, say they have suffered at the hands of its successive leaders.
Titled “Unveiled: Surviving La Luz Del Mundo,” the HBO Original production will unfold in three parts. It was directed by award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Tiexiera, the director of “P.S. Burn This Letter Please,” and produced by Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions in association with Law & Crime Productions.
In an interview with Variety, Tiexiera said she hoped to draw attention to a story that was not given much coverage by the media despite the global reach of the church. La Luz del Mundo (Lldm) claims to have congregations in over 50 countries and over five million followers, but it is an institution that is also cloaked in secrecy.

Roku has picked up a second season of “Cypher,” an FBI-themed crime drama series, for which it was the exclusive North American carrier of the first seven-episode season.
In territories outside the U.S. and Canada, the show is represented by Screen Media Ventures, which is launching it at the MipTV market this week.
“Cypher” tells the story of an FBI code-breaking specialist who discovers a secret organization’s hit list and must navigate the murky waters of loyalty and betrayal among an underground ring of hackers, assassins, and government agents spanning a global conspiracy.
Created by Mohamed Sayed Bisheer and directed by Majdi Smiri, the first season was shot in Los Angeles and produced jointly by Cairo-based Aroma Studios and United Brothers along with Los Angeles-based production companies Az Films, Thriller Films and Taiwan’s Organic Media Group.
The second season expands to 13-episodes and involves new writers, a more diverse cast,...

The Roku Channel, which entered the original programming realm this year with its acquisition of shows from failed streaming startup Quibi, has slated the premiere of action drama Cypher.
The series will have its premiere on March 19 in the U.S. and Canada. Roku emphasized that the show is a licensed program, not, in its view, a true original since it was produced elsewhere and owned by a third party during production.
Still, the Roku run will be the first appearance for the seven-episode show on any domestic platform. It will be free for viewers on the Roku Channel, the ad-supported outlet that Roku recently said has reach to households with 63 million people. The channel’s viewership has doubled over the past year.
Quibi programming is expected to roll out on the Roku Channel later this year.
