AMC Networks has picked up the futuristic thriller series “Moonhaven” to premiere on the linear network and AMC+ next year.
The six-episode series, created by “Lodge 49” executive producer Peter Ocko, is set 100 years in the future on a “utopian colony on the Moon that may hold the keys to preserving life on Earth, which has become increasingly perilous.” Here is the full series description:
The suspense thriller focuses on Bella Sway, a lunar cargo pilot and smuggler 100 years in the future who finds herself accused of a crime and marooned on Moonhaven, a utopian community set on a 500 square mile Garden of Eden built on the Moon to find solutions to the problems that will soon end civilization on Mother Earth. A skeptic in Paradise, Bella is sucked into a conspiracy to gain control of the artificial intelligence responsible for Moonhave
