The first thing Teal Swan says in the trailer for The Deep End is, "What we're going to be doing is what I call 'channeling.' It's an incredibly dangerous process. It's also one of the most powerful tools, that has ever existed." And with that she has positioned herself as someone of great importance to the group of people standing in a circle outside, holding hands around Teal Swan. If it walks like a cult and quacks like a cult, it's a cult.

One follower says, "I feel like she's Jesus," while another looks at the camera absolutely awestruck saying, "I would die for this."

The rest of the trailer promises to show us more insight into what it means to be a member of the Teal Tribe. Perhaps the most fascinating part is the private investigator hired to see if this is, in fact, a cult.

One of the last things Teal says in the trailer is perhaps the most cult-like: "I feel like I am this spokesperson...for every 'lost toy.'" When you become the person that everyone must go through, you are not part of a collective body worshipping some higher being. You are making sure they have to worship you. Do you smell that? It smells like a cult.

The Deep End is out May 18 on Freeform and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
