Episodes the sci-fi series The Peripheral will be released through the Amazon Prime streaming service from October 21st through December 9th – and with just over a week to go before the show premieres, a new trailer has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above!
Executive produced by Scott B. Smith, Athena Wickham, Greg Plageman, Steven Hoban, pilot director Vincenzo Natali, and Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, The Peripheral is based on a novel by William Gibson (pick up a copy at THIS LINK) and has the following synopsis:
Flynne Fisher lives in the rural American South, working at the local 3D printing shop while earning much-needed extra money playing VR games for rich people. One night she dons a headset and finds herself in futuristic London—a sleek and mysterious world, alluringly different from her own hardscrabble existence. But this isn’t like any game she’s ever played before: Flynne begins to realize it isn’t virtual reality… it’s real. Someone in London, seventy years in the future, has found a way to open a door to Flynne’s world. And as utterly beguiling as London is… it’s also dangerous. As Flynne searches to discover who has connected their worlds, and for what purpose, her presence here sets dangerous forces into motion…forces intent on destroying Flynne and her family in her own world. The Peripheral is master storyteller William Gibson’s dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.
Flynne Fisher is played by Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick Ass). Moretz is joined in the cast by Jack Reynor (Midsommer), Gary Carr (The Deuce), Eli Goree (One Night in Miami), Louis Herthem (Westworld), and T’Nia Miller (The Haunting of Bly Manor).
I’m not familiar with Gibson’s novel, but The Peripheral looks interesting to me and I have an Amazon Prime account, so I’ll probably take a look at the show at some point. What did you think of The Peripheral trailer? Will you be watching the series? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
