New sci-fi series: Altered Carbon

Altered Carbon

Based on the classic cyberpunk noir novel by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon is an intriguing story of murder, love, sex and betrayal, set more than 300 years in the future.

Society has been transformed by new technology: consciousness can be digitised; human bodies are interchangeable; death is no longer permanent.

Takeshi Kovacs is the lone surviving soldier in a group of elite interstellar warriors who were defeated in an uprising against the new world order.

His mind was imprisoned, "on ice", for centuries until Laurens Bancroft, an impossibly wealthy, long-lived man, offers Kovacs the chance to live again.

In exchange, Kovacs has to solve a murder ... that of Bancroft himself.

Among the starring cast are The Killing star Joel Kinnaman as Kovacs, perennial villain James Purefoy (The Following) as Bancroft and Ato Essandoh (Chicago Med) as Vernon Elliot, an ex-Protectorate Tactical Marine whose wife was imprisoned and whose daughter was killed.

Altered Carbon is produced by Skydance Television for Netflix.
