“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” 📺 But what does it all mean? Does anyone know what the color of television tuned to a dead channel even looks like anymore? Either way, it’s finally time… This is an obvious hint that we’re going to get an actual first look teaser trailer soon. Apple TV has revealed a quick 20 second video on their social media channels this week for the Neuromancer series. The video shows an old Ashpool 1 computer booting up with that quote and that’s about it. The post comes with the intro: “42 years ago, William Gibson introduced the world to Neuromancer. Now, the next chapter is loading.” The reference is to Tessier-Ashpool (or T-A) in the book – a fictional family corporation. This seems to be an old Ashpool 1 computer booting up, similar to the Apple 1 computer, the very first Apple computer ever made in 1976. In the series, a hacker & assassin are thrust into a web of high-stakes crime as they take aim at a corporate dynasty. The sci-fi series stars Callum Turner as Case, a data-thief, Briana Middleton as Molly, a street-samurai, with Joseph Lee as Hideo, Mark Strong as Armitage, Clémence Poésy, Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Laird, plus Max Irons and Dane DeHaan. We also got to see a brief teaser video of the Chatsubo bar last year. I am more than ready to see some real footage of this adaptation.
Here’s the very first teaser for Apple TV’s sci-fi series Neuromancer, posted via the Apple TV Twitter:

“The Chatsubo was a bar for professional expatriates; you could drink there for a week and never hear two words in Japanese.” The cyberpunk series will follow a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case (Callum Turner) who’s thrust into a web of digital espionage & high stakes crime with his partner Molly (Briana Middleton), a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes aiming for a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets. Neuromancer is a sci-fi series created by writers Graham Roland (writer on “Fringe”, Mile 22, “Jack Ryan”, “Dark Winds”) & J.D. Dillard (director of Sleight, Sweetheart, Devotion). Adapted from William Gibson’s seminal sci-fi novel also titled “Neuromancer” first published in 1984. Showrun by Graham Roland, with J.D. Dillard directing the pilot. Made by Skydance Television. Anonymous Content, and DreamCrew Entertainment. Executive produced by Graham Roland, J.D. Dillard, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Matt Thunell, Drake, Adel “Future” Nur, Jason Shrier, Zack Hayden, + William Gibson. Apple will debut the Neuromancer series streaming on Apple TV+ sometime in 2026. Stay tuned for more updates. 💾
