In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial components) and synthetics (humanoid robots equipped with artificial intelligence) coexist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation (Samuel Blenkin) unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype, named Wendy, marks a new era in the pursuit of immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
Speaking ahead of the Disney+ premiere, Samuel Blenkin said, “This is really good, suspenseful horror storytelling. It’s going to be a thrill ride! Noah’s basically gone ‘How far can I push this?’
Led by Sydney Chandler, the series showcases an expansive international cast, which includes Timothy Olyphant (Kirsh), Alex Lawther (Hermit), Babou Ceesay (Morrow), David Rysdahl (Arthur Sylvia), Essie Davis (Dame Sylvia), Jonathan Ajayi (Smee), Kit Young (Tootles), Diêm Camille (Siberian), Moe Bar-El (Rashidi), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Yutani), to name just a few.
