Speaking of Utopia, the series is a 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.
Utopia centres 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 realise 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.
