Utopia

• Original producer: Kudos Film and Television Productions
• Original broadcaster: Channel 4

Conspiracy theory turned terrifyingly real is the subject of this brand-new six-part drama series written by Dennis Kelly, the co-creator of the Olivier-Award-winning Matilda. When an unconnected group of people find themselves in possession of the manuscript for a legendary graphic novel, Utopia, their lives are set to change forever as they are forced to run from a shadowy and murderous organisation known as The Network.

Rumoured to have predicted the worst disasters of the last century, Utopia is legendary. Dismissed by most, idolised by few, only one thing seems certain: come into contact with it and you won’t be safe for long.

Never able to return home, our characters’ lives are immediately transformed. Unable to contact anyone on the outside, they live in constant fear of discovery - even though they have no idea why they are being pursued. All they know is that The Network is all-pervasive; in government, in business and in charge. Nobody knows what their plan is, only that they will stop at nothing.

Utopia is one of the first UK dramas ever to be filmed using the Red Epic camera at 5k resolution and 235 cinemascope aspect ratio, giving it a very unique look and style.
