Long before Waco became known for its vast amount of fixer uppers [1], the Texas town was home to one of the most devastating cults in US history. The Paramount Network's upcoming six-part series, Waco, follows the deadly true story of the 1993 standoff between the FBI and Branch Davidian leader David Koresh [2] (Taylor Kitsch, wearing one hell of a wig), which ended in a bloody shootout and fire that claimed the lives of many. The show costars Michael Shannon, John Leguizamo, Andrea Riseborough, Rory Culkin, and Melissa Benoist, and premieres in January.
