AMC+ is set to drop a star-studded series in June, and it has the perfect recipe to become the next biggest sci-fi series of the year. Moonhaven is scheduled to premiere on AMC+ later this year, and this ambitious project is helmed by TV veteran Peter Ocko, who creates, writes, and executive-produces the show. Ocko is best known for his work on shows like Pushing Daisies, The Office, The Leftovers, Elementary, Black Sails, and most recently, Lodge 49. Here is a description of the plot of the show, according to Deadline: “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 Moonhaven’s miracles and teams with a local detective, Paul Serno, to stop the forces that want to destroy Earth’s last hope before they are destroyed themselves.” Moonhaven is an intriguing addition to AMC+’s profile and one that sci-fi fans are anticipating.

I noticed when that film came out—also I was in St. Trinian’s at the same time—the scripts were flooding in from America. It was a really cool, interesting time. It was a huge international platform. That film is shot in an exotic country and it was released all around the world, but it’s got Americans in it, and it’s got a fantastic script and story behind it. Like The Night Of, which I feel will do [the same] for me again. People all around the world can invest in this story. Even though it’s very quintessentially New York, American, there’s so much in it for all of us to invest in.”
