First Intriguing Trailer For Alex Garland's Upcoming Sci-Fi Thriller Series DEVS with Nick Offerman
Alex Garland, the filmmaker who brought us Ex Machina and Annihilation, has developed a new sci-fi limited series for FX and Hulu titled Devs. The series looks like it’s going to tell a fascinating story that dives deep into crazy mind-bending tech.
We’ve got the first trailer to share with you today for this series, which tells the story of a young computer engineer named Lily Chan (Sonoya Mizuno) who is investigating a secretive development division her employer, Amaya, which is run by a character named Forest played by Nick Offerman. This is definitely a very different kind of role for Offerman, and I like it! The cutting-edge tech company is based in San Francisco, and Chan believes they are behind the murder of her boyfriend.
The series also stars Jin Ha (Jesus Christ Superstar Live), Zach Grenier (The Good Wife), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Ladybird), Cailee Spaeny (Bad Times at the El Royale) and Alison Pill (American Horror Story: Cult).
Forest is the CEO of Amaya “whose obsession is the covert work of the company’s development division. Ha is set to portray Jamie, a gifted cybersecurity specialist, and Lily’s former boyfriend. Grenier is Kenton, a terse, dry, and dangerous head of security at Amaya. Henderson will play Stewart, a cultured intellectual from another era and one of the top technical minds working in Amaya’s secret development division. Spaeny is Lyndon, a young, brilliant, and stubborn employee who works in Amaya’s secret development division. Finally, Pill will play Katie, a gifted quantum physicist tapped by Forest to be his second in command at Amaya.”
The eight-episode limited series will premiere on March 5 on FX and Hulu, followed by a new episode each subsequent week on the service. This show looks awesome and I can’t wait to see how the story plays out!
