Chloë Grace Moretz's Sci-Fi Series THE PERIPHERAL Renewed for Season 2 by Prime Video
Chloë Grace Moretz's fantastic sci-fi series The Peripheral has been officially renewed by Amazon Prime Video for Season 2.
The series is based on the William Gibson novel of the same name, and the story 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.”
Fisher discovers a secret connection to an alternate reality, courtesy of a virtual reality-esque headset, as well as a dark future of her own. She finds herself being pulled into a strange world in which a supposedly fictional reality turns out to be more real than ever.
The series comes from executive producers Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan (Westworld), and the first season was a fantastic, interesting, and thrilling ride!
Joy and Nolan said in a statement: “We are thrilled to continue the journey into Season 2 and delve deeper into the incredible world that [author William] Gibson created. On behalf of Scott Smith, Vincenzo Natali and the entire team, we’re grateful to our partners at Amazon and, most of all, to the fans.”
Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios said: “William’s mind-bending story in partnership with the brilliant minds of Scott and Jonathan and Lisa, produced an unforgettable journey for our global audience and we are thrilled with how they embraced the series. We look forward to extending our partnership with Warner Bros. and Kilter Films as this uniquely ambitious series continues to unfold.”
The series also stars Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Gary Carr (The Deuce), T’Nia Miller (The Haunting of Bly Manor), Charlotte Riley (Peaky Blinders), and Alexandra Billings (The Conners).
