Last month at the Comic-Con @ Home event, Amazon Prime Video gave us our first look at Utopia. This as mentioned before is the American remake of the British TV series created by Dennis Kelly back 2013. Today they have finally released a full trailer for the series that you can see above!

Along with that exciting trailer they gave is the news that Utopia would be premiering on Amazon Prime Video on September 25th. It will feature eight episodes from best selling author and award-winning screenwriter, Gillian Flynn. Along with that, some key art has also been released that you can check out below!

In Utopia, a comic book has predicted the world’s end. Their journey to unravel its mystery is filled with hidden meanings, shocking twists, and radical evolutions for its dynamic characters. Below is a synopsis provided by Amazon Prime Video.

Utopia is an eight-episode conspiracy thriller about saving the world while trying to find your place in it. Inspired by the British series of the same name, the new Amazon Original series was written by Gillian Flynn, who also serves as showrunner and executive producer. Utopia centers on a group of comic fans who meet online and bond over their obsession of a seemingly fictional comic called, “Utopia.”

Together, Becky (Ashleigh LaThrop), Ian (Dan Byrd), Samantha (Jessica Rothe), Wilson Wilson (Desmin Borges) and Grant (Javon “Wanna” Walton) unearth hidden meanings cloaked within the pages of “Utopia,” predicting threats to humanity. They realize these are not just the makings of a conspiracy; they are very real dangers coming alive right now in their world. The group embarks on a high-stakes adventure, bringing them face-to-face with the comic’s famed central character, Jessica Hyde (Sasha Lane), who joins them on their mission to save the world while harboring secrets of her own. The series also stars John Cusack as Dr. Kevin Christie, in his first series regular role for television. Rainn Wilson stars as Dr. Michael Stearns, Farrah Mackenzie as Alice, Christopher Denham as Arby, and Cory Michael Smith as Thomas Christie.

Alongside Gillian Flynn, executive producers include Jessica Rhoades (with whom Flynn collaborated on Sharp Objects), Sharon Levy, Sharon Hall, Toby Haynes, Karen Wilson, and Dennis Kelly. The series is a co-production between Endemol Shine North America, Kudos and Amazon Studios. Utopia will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories.

Hopefully, this is well-paced and the twists aren’t too out of the box that ends up being distracting from the overall plot. With the cast involved, I expect a good series. What do you think of what you have seen of Utopia so far? Let us know in the comment section below!
