![]() Five years later, Amazon bagged the right to churn out an American version of the black comedyconspiracy thriller, which premiered in September 2020. The worldwide international release is set for October 30, 2020.Dennis Kellys Utopia dropped in the UK in January 2013 and amassed a cult following for its striking visuals, astonishing violence, and fascinating storyline. Utopia season 1 begins on Amazon Prime Video in the US on September 25, 2020. ![]() I had great expectations and it still managed to surprise in some really wonderful ways. That didn’t work out which could have been a bad sign, but the result is actually damn good. I was really excited about this Gillian Flynn series – which was originally supposed to be produced with HBO and co-created by David Fincher. Dennis Kelly (creator of the UK series) and Ryan Enright are also credited with writing the eight episodes in season 1. Obviously, I have favorites – as will you – but none are subpar in any way!Īs already mentioned, Gillian Flynn who wrote the book behind the Sharp Objects series and wrote the novel and screenplay for Gone Girl (which won her an Oscar) is the creator of the Utopia series. Dillard ( Sweetheart) directed one episode.Īll episodes without exception work really well. Toby Haynes ( Black Mirror, Doctor Who) directed four episodes, Susanna Fogel ( Amazing Stories) directed three episodes, and J.D. Season 1 of Utopia has eight episodes directed by three different directors. Watch Season 1 of Utopia on Amazon Prime Video And yet, he ends up wreaking havoc in ways he never expected! He’s not interested in money or fame if it doesn’t come from doing something pure and good. It’s actually scary how much he stands out due to this simple fact. Rainn Wilson works remarkably well as the scientist who just wants to do good in this world. You might know Christopher Denham from Argo (2012) or Shutter Island (2010). He has a really messed up haircut, which is called out early on. Can John Cusack play a villain?! Obviously – and very well! Would it have been cool if his sister, Joan Cusack, had played this part instead? Hell yeah! Her role in Homecoming season 2 is clear proof of that.Ĭhristopher Denham is awesome as the hitman and “get it done”-monster, RB (or Arby). John Cusack plays the main villain of this story and he has a pretty excellent (if not completely novel) motive. Sasha Lane as Jessica Hyde demands your attention and you will give it willingly. Whether she’s killing people left and right or being a total Sarah Connor (the Terminator 2 version) who only cares about her “mission”. ![]() The iconic Jessica Hyde is played by Sasha Lane ( Daniel Isn’t Real) who is one hell of a ball-breaker in this Amazon Prime series. She plays Alice in Utopia and surprises more than once. She has a face that can go from angel to demon in a second. This kid could have a huge career ahead of him! The same definitely goes for Farrah MacKenzie ( Ascension) who is perfect for genre-stories. The young Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton ( Euphoria) continues to impress as Grant. However, as the saying goes “seeing is believing” so he does have somewhat of a change of heart. He’s more into Becky than the comic book. She also believes in the conspiracy but isn’t quite as “intense” in her approach to all of it.įinally, we have Dan Byrd ( The Hills Have Eyes, Easy A) in the group of Utopia comic book hunters. Though, of course, not one that could hurt others. She is pure and good but does hide a secret. He pours so much love and passion into this character that I want to side with him even when he goes completely off the rails.Īshleigh LaThrop ( The Handmaid’s Tale) plays the incredibly kind and loving Becky. The only character more into conspiracy theories is Wilson Wilson (that’s his name) who is portrayed by Desmin Borges. ![]() To figure out the rest of this mystery, they need to get the sequel which is called (drum roll, please!) Utopia. Jessica Rothe ( Happy Death Day) is one of the wonderful nerds convinced that a huge conspiracy is hidden in the images of the Dystopia comic book. At every turn, you’ll see a familiar face (or one that should be or simply feels familiar) and it makes for a cast you’ll be intrigued by immediately. ![]()
