Amazon Prime Video released the full trailer for Utopia to offer a look at an elaborate conspiracy theory predicted by a comic book. Adapted from the 2013 UK series of the same name, Utopia is helmed by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), who serves as the writer and showrunner of the series. On the heels of first looks at Utopia as part of last month's Comic-Con@Home lineup, Flynn revealed Utopia would feature concepts from the original series while adding a focus on government conspiracies.
Utopia follows Ian (Dan Byrd), Wilson Wilson (Desmin Borges), Samantha (Jessica Rothe), Becky (Ashleigh Lathrop), and Grant (Javon Walton), a group of comic book nerds who are part of an online forum that analyzes the fictional graphic novel "Dystopia." Arranging to meet in person at a convention that will offer a sneak peek at the "Dystopia" sequel, "Utopia," the group finds themselves at the center of an intricate government conspiracy...and a national pandemic. Help arrives for the gang when Jessica Hyde (Sasha Lane), the protagonist from the comic book series, shows up and reveals "Utopia" may hold the answers to their survival. Check out the full trailer below:
Compacted with car explosions, images of humanity dealing with biowarfare, and a group of misfits trying to save the world, the trailer for Utopia teases a high-stakes adventure. Utopia also stars John Cusack as Kevin Christine, a billionaire philanthropist, and Rainn Wilson as virologist Dr. Michael Stearns. Slated to premiere on Friday, September 25, on Amazon, Utopia will consist of eight action-packed episodes. Toting a talented cast, relevant subject matter, and high-class thrills, Utopia could be another winner for Amazon.
