Summary
The Peripheral is a 2022 TV Series adaptation of William Gibson's novel of the same name. Chloë Grace Moretz stars as Flynne Fisher, a woman who finds the monotony of life to be too much, so she escapes into fully immersive video games. Her performance catches the eyes of a company that sends her a brand-new prototype game that takes virtual reality a step further - simulating her inner hopes and dreams of finding fame, love, and purpose in her life. However, Flynne sees a dark future for herself and those close to her in the experience, and the game suddenly reveals itself to be more of a second world and prophetic - putting her and her family in danger. The Peripheral's first season will air on Prime Video on October 21 2022.
