Sci-Fi Series ‘The Peripheral’ Gets Trailer and Release Date on Prime Video

Amazon has revealed the first trailer and premiere date for the sci-fi series ‘The Peripheral.’ Starring Chloë Grace Moretz in the leading role, the eight-episode series ‘The Peripheral’ will release on October 21 with its first episode. One new episode will be rolling out weekly every Friday through December 9, 2022.

The Peripheral centers on Flynne Fisher (Moretz), a woman trying to patch together the fragments of her broken family in a forgotten part of tomorrow's America. Flynne is astute, ambitious, and ultimately doomed. She has no future; that is unless the future comes knocking. The Peripheral is master storyteller William Gibson's stunning, hallucinogenic exploration of humanity's fate—and what lies beyond.

‘The Peripheral,’ which is based on William Gibson's novel of the same name, will alternate between two futures 70 years apart including virtual time travel. It follows Flynne Fisher (Chloë Grace 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.

In the 21st-century near future, Flynne Fisher works at a local 3D print shop and lives with her mother and her brother Burton (Jack Reynor), who suffered brain damage as a result of cybernetic implants he acquired while serving in the US Marine Corps' elite Haptic Recon unit. When Burton leaves for another town, he asks Flynne to take up his position as a security guard for Milagros Coldiron in a video game/virtual world. Flynne takes the job and observes that the gaming world resembles London, although it is significantly more empty and futuristic. Flynne is unsure whether this is real or a simulation.

The cast of the series also includes Gary Carr as Wilf, Jack Reynor as Burton Fisher, Eli Goree as Conner, Charlotte Riley as Aelita, JJ Feild as Lev, Adelind Horan as Billy Ann Baker, T'Nia Miller as Cherise, Alex Hernandez as Tommy Constantine, and Austin Rising as Leon. Louis Herthum as Corbell Pickett, Chris Coy as Jasper, Melinda Page Hamilton as Ella, Katie Leung as Ash, Alexandra Billings as Detective Ainsley Lowbeer, and Julian Moore-Cook are appearing in recurring roles.

The Peripheral is produced by Amazon Studios and Warner Bros Television, in association with Kilter Films. Executive producers are Scott B. Smith, director Vincenzo Natali, Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham, and Steven Hoban. Greg Plageman is an executive producer and showrunner.
