56 Utopia (2020): Season 1

Drama series debuts September 25 on Prime Video. This long-gestating conspiracy thriller—an adaptation of a 2013 UK series that was first developed for HBO as a David Fincher project beginning in 2014, only for the network and the director to drop out over budget concerns—comes from author Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), who also serves as showrunner. The story revolves around a group of obsessive comic book fans who find themselves targeted by a shadowy government organization after they gain possession of an underground graphic novel that depicts a conspiracy that may not be entirely fictional. John Cusack, Sasha Lane, Rainn Wilson, Dan Byrd, Desmin Borges, and Jessica Rothe star.
