Official Trailer Released For ‘Brave New World’ Coming To Peacock (US), Sky One & NOW TV (UK)

Peacock has released the full official trailer for Brave New World, a new adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s classic novel, which comes to the US streaming service on July 15th, 2020, and Autumn 2020 on Sky One & NOW TV in the UK.

Written by David Wiener (‘Homecoming’, ‘The Killing’), Grant Morrison & Brian Taylor (‘Happy!’)‘Brave New World’ is set in a seemingly utopian futuristic society. Whilst there is peace and stability, the people are drugged to stay “happy” and have a number of their freedoms removed, such as the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself. Children are created and conditioned to play a specific role in society, which is split into castes. For example, if you’re born as a factory worker, you’re conditioned to like living in cities and have no interest in books.

As citizens of New London, Bernard Marx (Harry Lloyd – ‘Counterpart’, ‘Game Of Thrones’) and Lenina Crowne (Jessica Brown Findlay – ‘Downton Abbey’) have only ever known a rigid social order, a perfect pharmaceutical called Soma, and a culture of instant gratification and ubiquitous sex. Curious to explore life beyond the strictures of their society, the two New Worlders embark on a vacation to the Savage Lands, where they become embroiled in a harrowing and violent rebellion. Bernard and Lenina are rescued by John the Savage (Alden Ehrenreich – ‘Solo’, ‘Hail, Caesar!’), who escapes with them back to New London. Demi Moore (‘Ghost’) also stars.

David Wiener (‘Homecoming’, ‘The Killing’, ‘Flesh and Bone’) and Grant Morrison (‘Happy!’), along with Darryl Frank (‘The Americans’) and Justin Falvey (‘The Americans’), co-presidents of Amblin Television, serve as executive producers. Wiener also serves as series showrunner. Owen Harris (‘Black Mirror: San Junipero’, ‘Black Mirror: Striking Vipers’) will direct the first two episodes and executive produce the series.

Brave New World‘ premieres July 15th, 2020 on Peacock in the US, and Autumn 2020 on Sky One & NOW TV in the UK.
