This time last year, Apple TV posted a brief clip on its official account teasing the streamer’s upcoming TV series adaptation of William Gibson’s ground-breaking sci-fi novel “Neuromancer”.
The clip, timed to the 41st anniversary of the book’s publication, was essentially an ‘in production’ teaser and came at the tail end of the show’s shoot as filming took place across the first half of 2025 in Japan.
Now, on the 42nd anniversary of the book’s publication, another brief cryptic teaser has been unveiled for the series, which is still expected to have its premiere later this year but Apple has yet to announce a release date.
The book is notable for being the most famous early cyberpunk novel and delving into the issues of cyberspace, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and cheap ubiquitous technology long before these things became an integral part of modern culture.
The series will follow a damaged but expert super-hacker named Case (Callum Turner), who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high-stakes crime with his partner Molly, an assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.
In the story, Chatsubo is an expat bar in Japan frequented by Case and the show’s version of that bar can be glimpsed here. Joseph Lee, Mark Strong, Cleménce Poésy, Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Laird, Dane DeHaan, André De Shields, Max Irons, and Marc Menchaca co-star.
Graham Roland (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”) serves as showrunner, with JD Dillard (“Devotion”) directing the pilot. Gibson, Zack Hayden, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Matt Thunell, Drake, Adel ‘Future’ Nur, and Jason Shrier also executive produce for Skydance Television and Anonymous Content.
