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. Name it a hunch. Name it instinct. However from the seems to be of this trailer, there’s some foul play afoot, and when that type of thing happens on an area station far, far away from Earth, we will’t assist however adore it.
Beacon 23 stars Game of Thrones icon Lena Headey alongside If Beale Avenue Might Speak and Homecoming’s Stephan James. It’s based mostly on a guide 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. Mainly the present takes place on certainly one of a number of beacons throughout the galaxy that exist to help intergalactic vacationers. Every one is run by a complicated 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 appear to be she may be trusted. Nevertheless, it appears that evidently will get put to the check when different forces come into play.
The trailer for Beacon 23 seems to be tremendous strong however you get the robust sense it’s a type of exhibits 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 despite the fact that the Beacon 23 guide 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. After which, if the present is a success and other people prefer it, you go from there. You’d hate to look at these eight episodes, have a billion questions, after which by no means see it once more.
We’ll learn how that works quickly, because the eight-episode season debuts its first two episodes November 12 at 9 p.m. EST/PST on MGM+.
