Stephen King Recommends Amazon’s New Horrifying & Violent Sci-Fi Series UTOPIA
Looking for something new to binge? Well, The Stand and The Shining author Stephen King recommends Amazon Prime’s new sci-fi/thriller series Utopia.
Adapted by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) from the British series, Utopia stars John Cusack (1408), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), and Rainn Wilson (The Office).
King tweets: “I’m loving UTOPIA, on Amazon Prime,” King wrote on Twitter. “Might not be everyone’s cup of tea, given the times we’re living in, but it has the slow build to full steam that I associate with page-turning novels. Horrifying, violent, and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny.”

Ashleigh LaThrop, Dan Byrd, Desmin Borges, Christopher Denham, Javon Walton, Farrah Mackenzie, Cory Michael Smith, Jeanine Serralles, and Sasha Lane co-star. Jessica Rhodes, Sharon Hall, Karen Wilson, and Dennis Kelly executive produce.
Utopia centers on a group of comic fans who meet online and bond over their obsession of a seemingly fictional comic called, Utopia. Together, Ian (Dan Byrd), Becky (Ashleigh LaThrop), Samantha (Jessica Rothe), Wilson Wilson (Desmin Borges) and Grant (Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton) unearth hidden meanings cloaked within the pages of Utopia, predicting threats to humanity. They realize these are not just the makings of a conspiracy; they are very real dangers coming alive right now in their world. The high-stakes adventure brings the group face-to-face with the comic’s famed central character, Jessica Hyde (Sasha Lane), who joins them on their mission to save the world while harboring secrets of her own.
