Today, New York Times best-selling author William Gibson released the official teaser trailer for the Prime Video upcoming sci-fi drama series The Peripheral, starring Chloë Grace Moretz.
The first episode will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on October 21, with one new episode rolling out weekly every Friday through December 9, 2022.
The Peripheral Teaser Trailer
The Peripheral centers on Flynne Fisher (Moretz), a woman trying to hold together the
pieces of her broken family in a forgotten corner of tomorrow’s America. Flynne is smart, ambitious, and doomed. She has no future; until the future comes calling for her. The Peripheral is master storyteller William Gibson’s dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of humanity—and what lies beyond.
The series will feature Jack Reynor, Gary Carr, Eli Goree, and Louis Herthum. In addition to JJ Feild, T’Nia Miller, Charlotte Riley, and Alexandra Billings.
Bringing the series to audiences are executive producers and showrunner Scott B. Smith, director Vincenzo Natali, Greg Plageman, Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham (Westworld), and Steven Hoban.
Prime Video and Sci-fi Series
The Peripheral has been produced by Amazon Studios and Warner Bros Television, in association with Kilter Films. The series will stream exclusively on Prime Video, which is no stranger to exciting sci-fi. My trust in the quality of their sci-fi series is strong. And there are plenty of examples of why in their sci-fi repertoire.
Their most recent introduction to the genre, Night Sky, starring Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons was beautiful and uncommonly unique. The pacing of the show made it feel authentic as if it was all happening in real-time.
The anthology series, Solos was provoking and beautifully executed by its all-star cast. And they saved the fan-favorite series, The Expanse, after it had been dropped by the SyFy Network. And although this isn’t sci-fi, it’s definitely in the geek culture realm. The first episode of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power streaming series had over 25 million global viewers on its first day.
