We’re gonna exit on a limb right here and say not all the things is what it appears within the new present Beacon 23. Call it a hunch. Call it instinct. But from the appears of this trailer, there’s some foul play afoot, and when that sort of factor occurs on an area station far, far-off from Earth, we will’t assist however find it irresistible.
Beacon 23 stars Game of Thrones icon Lena Headey alongside If Beale Street Could Talk and Homecoming’s Stephan James. It’s based mostly on a e-book by Hugh Howey (he of Silo fame) and was created by two style mainstays, Zak Penn (Ready Player One, The Avengers) and Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead). Debuting November 12 on MGM+, which is an Amazon streaming service, it now has a mysterious first trailer.
That just about lays all of it out. Basically the present takes place on one of a number of beacons throughout the galaxy that exist to help intergalactic vacationers. Each one is run by a sophisticated AI in addition to a single, extremely succesful human. That’s James’ character. Headey’s character is a authorities agent who, very rightfully, doesn’t seem to be she may be trusted. However, evidently will get put to the check when different forces come into play.
The trailer for Beacon 23 appears tremendous stable however you get the sturdy sense it’s one of these reveals the place not all the things goes to be wrapped up in a single season. Silo, one other present based mostly on Howey’s work, is like that and although the Beacon 23 e-book appears to be an entire work, there’s a lot occurring on this trailer, you simply hope Penn and Mazzara put all of it on the road right here. And then, if the present is successful and folks prefer it, you go from there. You’d hate to watch these eight episodes, have a billion questions, after which by no means see it once more.
We’ll learn the way that works quickly, because the eight-episode season debuts its first two episodes November 12 at 9 p.m. EST/PST on MGM+.
