in your San Diego Comic-Con panel today, Apple TV released the surprise debut of the first trailer for its upcoming sci-fi series neuromancer. It’s our best look yet at the show, which is based on the 1984 novel of the same name by William Gibson. Gibson’s novel is a cornerstone of the cyberpunk genre, but it has never before been adapted to the big or small screen.
Watch the trailer below.
neuromancer It stars Callum Turner, Briana Middleton, Mark Strong, Joseph Lee, Peter Sarsgaard and Clémence Poésy. According to its official description, “neuromancer follows a damaged, top-notch super hacker named Case (Turner) who is thrown into a web of digital espionage and high-stakes crime with his partner Molly (Middleton), a razor-sharp assassin, as they carry out a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.
The trailer lasts just over a minute, but it’s enough to give us an idea of the show’s visual identity. It seems like Apple has really gone out of its way to accurately replicate Gibson’s world. Given the streamer’s growing reputation for quality sci-fi television series, it seemed from the beginning that it would be a good home for neuromancerand based on this initial analysis, that still appears to be the case.
neuromancer was created for television by Graham Roland (dark winds) and J.D. Dillard (Utopia, The twilight zone), with Roland as showrunner. The show’s supporting cast includes Max Irons, Dane DeHaan, Junia Rees, Jordan Kouamé, Emma Laird, Marc Menchaca, André De Shields and Isabella Pappas.
neuromancer premieres January 22, 2027 on Apple TV. The first two episodes will premiere on the same day, and the remaining eight episodes will be released weekly after that.
