Brave New World, first published in 1932, is set in a futuristic utopian society “that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself,” per the official synopsis.

The series’ cast also includes Harry Lloyd (Game of Thrones), Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey), Kylie Bunbury (Pitch), Demi Moore (A Few Good Men), Joseph Morgan (The Originals) and Hannah John-Kamen (Killjoys).
