‘Loki’s Gugu Mbatha-Raw Heads to Space in BBC Sci-Fi Mystery Series ‘Sutherland’
If the Artemis II mission has sparked your interest in space travel, the BBC is launching a series you may want to keep an eye on.
Deadline reports that Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“Loki,” The Cloverfield Paradox) will lead the sci-fi mystery drama “Sutherland.”
Stuart Martin (Rebel Moon) and Iain De Caestecker (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) will also star in the series, which is set in a near future in the far north of Scotland.
Mbatha-Raw will play Mirren, who works at Paravel Space Hub as flight director for the UK’s first crewed mission to the stars. Everything is going to plan when, just hours after launch, a series of unexplained events engulf Sutherland in mystery and risks destroying everything Mirren’s been striving for.
“Sutherland” is created by James Smythe (“The Last Kingdom”), who writes alongside Laura Grace, Tom Mair, and Helen Kingston. Chloë Wicks and Patrick Harkins will direct.
Clare Kerr is producing. Executive producers include Jake Lushington, Simon Heath, & George Aza-Selinger for World Productions Scotland, Gaynor Holmes for the BBC, Gavin Smith for BBC Scotland, and Smythe.
World Productions produces in association with ITV Studios, which will distribute internationally. The series is supported by Screen Scotland.
Production is slated to take place in Scotland later this year.
Stuart Martin in ‘Army of Thieves’
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
