The stars of The Path joined the creator on Saturday morning to attend the Television Critics Association 2017 winter press tour and promote the show's upcoming second season.

Led by Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, the cast and crew of the critically acclaimed show took the stage at Pasadena's Langham Hotel and discussed how The Path will be received during a tumultuous time in American history.

The Hulu original series follows a family deeply embedded into a cult movement, showcasing their struggle with relationships, faith, and power.

The team:  Aaron Paul joins The Path creator Jessica Goldberg and stars Hugh Dancy and Michelle Monaghan for the 2017 TCA winter press tour

The panel consisted of creator Jessica Goldberg and cast Hugh Dancy, Michelle Monaghan, and Paul.

The first season focused on how Eddie Lane's (Paul) family struggled within a rising religious movement, titled Meyerism, and this season will be even more relevant, according to the show's cast and creator.

Emmy Award-winner Paul began: 'I’ve always been fascinated with just religion in general.

'It creates answers to heavy questions [in order to] provide hope and guidance, which a lot of people need.' 

Speaking of the show's creator, Monaghan - who plays Eddie's wife on the show - said:

 'What Jessica does so beautifully is make these characters so relatable, address what they’re struggling with personally, and why they’re struggling with their faith.'

Good time: 'I'm so excited this show is coming out in this new American time,' said Goldberg, who also produced the TV series Parenthood

Though the subject was serious and controversial, the cast joked around to the entertainment of the audience.

Sitting opposite Paul in the seasonal panel was Goldberg. 

'I'm so excited this show is coming out in this new American time,' said Goldberg, who also produced the TV series Parenthood.

'I think it will be really interesting how we look to faith during this change in American life.'

Doing something good: 'It creates answers to heavy questions [in order to] provide hope and guidance, which a lot of people need,' said Paul

She continued: 'I was watching the episodes after the election.

'It feels like its relevance has not deteriorated. It feels different now, what you write, what you say.

'You have to think a little deeper about what stories you’re telling. I felt relieved looking back at the show. It felt very relevant.' 

The Path returns to Hulu on January 25.

It's more relevant now: According to Goldberg, the show is more relevant now than ever

Elegant: Michelle Monaghan combined sexy and classy in a sheer top over a black bra paired with an ankle length print skirt

Classic: Aaron Paul kept things traditional with a grey gridded suit without a tie

Dapper: Hugh Dancy dressed up his look a bit with a navy blue blazer, slate grey slacks and patent leather oxfords
