So, in terms of themes, yeah, it really covers an awful lot of territory, the end of the world, the beginning of the next one, and everything in between. You have two distinct timelines that we're exploring here, 2032, 2099, and I don't even know which one I'm more enamored of - the near future-ism, which feels right there and a little scary, and very easy to wrap your head around, where you've got small communities in America that are now, you know, the big box stores have emptied out and it's just a little corner of it is a fabrication store, and you got a bunch of veterans with implants, and then, the far future world where Gary's character lives, which is just mind blowing. Gibson, from a hugely influential, brilliant science-fiction author, and so, it’s just fun to be hanging on for a ride into his vetted imagination, and I think one of the things that he's exploring, one of the reasons - and I grew up reading his books - but, with The Peripheral, one of the things that he does, which I'd never seen him do before, is he brings it a little bit closer to home. JONATHAN: It's as if we've been in our little spaceship exploring the future for years, and now, we've linked up with the giant William Gibson mothership, alright, we’ve kind of hooked up to it, and it's taking us into uncharted territories. ROHAN: Jonathan, you've explored the future in many of your works, including Westworld - what major themes did you want to explore with The Peripheral that you hadn't before? What was it about this novel that excited you the most?

The exciting new sci-fi mystery series is headlined by the fan-favorite Chloë Grace Moretz ( Kick-Ass Tom & Jerry), with Gary Carr ( 21 Bridges The Deuce) and Jack Reynor ( Transformers: Age of Extinction Cherry) in key supporting roles.

While Carr details his character's journey this season, Nolan speaks at length on the themes he wanted to explore with this series and why he believes gaming and virtual reality are the future. We spoke with Academy Award-nominated screenwriter/executive producer Jonathan Nolan ( The Dark Knight The Prestige) and actor Gary Carr ( 21 Bridges Bolden) about their new show and learned quite a bit about how the series flips the concept of virtual reality on its head. Tomorrow, The Peripheral, a brand new sci-fi series from the minds of Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, arrives on Prime Video, and ahead of its eagerly-awaited premiere date, we were able to sit down with the stars and creators to learn more about what's to come in season one.
