Apple TV is fast eclipsing HBO as the go-to platform for prestige TV, especially science fiction, with standout fare like Slow Horses, Severance, Foundation, For All Mankind, Murderbot, Silo, Pluribus , and Widow's Bay , among others. Add the upcoming Neuromancer series to that list, an adaptation of William Gibson's hugely influential 1984 cyberpunk novel of the same name. The streaming platform released a short teaser during San Diego Comic-Con, and visually it looks fantastic, even based on one minute of footage.

Saturday's various SDCC panels also gave us a teaser for Prime Video's Carrie ; trailers for Dark Matter S2 and Matchbox: The Movie ; and a bit of Marvel casting news.

Per the official logline, the series "follows a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage with his partner, Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets." Callum Taylor, best known as Theseus Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, stars as Case, alongside Briana Middleton ( The Inheritance ) as Molly.
