, Netflix's latest (alleged) cult docuseries, is still part of the shady group that—according to her family—brainwashed her with religion. (Derrick, to put it mildly, disagrees with that assessment.)While we're not sure exactly when filming on the series wrapped, it seems that some progress has been made between then and May 29, the date of the docuseries's release.Here's everything we know about where Miranda and the Wilking family are now, plus the current state of 7M Films and the Shekinah church:It's unclear exactly when Miranda signed onto 7M management, which was founded in 2021, but as far as the church, it was a process.Miranda received her first DM from her now-husband James “BDash” Derrick in April 2019.

They collaborated on a dance video and then started a relationship. It was through Derrick's videographer, Isaiah Shinn, that both James and Miranda became affiliated with Shekinah church, which was founded by Isaiah's father, Robert Shinn.During the 2020 pandemic, the couple spent time with the Wilkings in Michigan, which seemingly went well.

When they got back to LA, however, Miranda's sister Melanie noticed that Miranda was spending more time at the church.The first alarm bells started to go off in January 2021, when Miranda did not attend her grandfather's funeral, saying that she needed permission from “someone closer to God” to fly home to Michigan from LA.

She and James got engaged that year and they married without any of her family present.Shinn is the founder of 7M Films, a management company that has recruited a number of TikTok-famous dancers, many of whom were vulnerable aspiring artists with little guidance or windfall who had moved to LA to pursue their dream.
