AMC+'s Moonhaven might be the premium network's biggest game-changer
If there’s anything the premium networks are forcing each other to do at this point, it’s make better quality series and bring in some serious star power. AMC+ is not slowing down and only making things even more interesting with sky-high expectations for its upcoming ‘Moonhaven’ series. Can anyone say exclusive much?
AMC+’s Moonhaven could be a major game-changer
While inflation continues to be a real thing around the nation - and world - and people are still dealing with the fact Netflix has lost a legit number of subscribers since last year, AMC+ could deliver a gut check to its competition with ‘Moonhaven’ based on cast, excitement and overall sci-fi adventure.
AMC+ today released first look photos of the upcoming suspense thriller, Moonhaven, from creator Peter Ocko (Lodge 49, Black Sails, Elementary). The series is set in a utopian colony on the moon that may hold the keys to preserving life on Earth, which has become increasingly perilous, and features an acclaimed ensemble cast including Emma McDonald (Queens of Mystery), Dominic Monaghan (Lost) Amara Karan (Doctor Who), Ayelet Zurer (Losing Alice), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), Kadeem Hardison (Black Monday), and Yazzmin Newell (The Last Tree). The first two episodes of the series will debut Thursday, July 7 exclusively on AMC+ with additional episodes dropping Thursdays, weekly.
Moonhaven centers on Bella Sway (McDonald), 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 Moonhaven's miracles and teams with a local detective to stop the forces that want to destroy Earth's last hope before they are destroyed themselves.
