Joss Whedon’s Victorian-Set Superhero Series THE NEVERS Trailer Released

THE NEVERS

Check out the awesome new trailer for the Joss Whedon-created HBO series The Nevers. The new series is described as an “epic science-fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.”

The trailer is packed with a lot of new footage. I love what I see in the trailer it looks amazing and original, and I’m excited to get to know the characters and see how the story will play with the characters. We also have new details on the characters that will be introduced in the series along with details on the first eight episodes of Season 1.

The story is based on the final years of Queen Victoria’s reign. “London is beset by the ‘Touched’: people – mostly women – who suddenly manifest abnormal abilities – some charming, some very disturbing. Among them are Amalia True (Laura Donnelly), a mysterious, quick-fisted widow, and Penance Adair (Ann Skelly), a brilliant young inventor. They are the champions of this new underclass, making a home for the Touched while fighting the forces of… well, pretty much all the forces – to make room for those whom history as we know it has no place.”

Whedon is worked on the show as the writer, director, executive producer, and showrunner of the series during the first half of production, and then he left the show. HBO succeeded Whedon as showrunner with Philippa Goslett, who will also executive produce with Whedon.
