“You are the only person on the planet who can fulfill this quest!” NBC has released the official trailer for Mrs. Davis, a new sci-fi series launching for streaming on NBC’s Peacock next month. This is screening at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival this week, hence the trailer dropping just in time for the premiere. Co-written by “The Big Bang Theory” writer Tara Hernandez and iconic “Mystery Box” writer Damon Lindelof, it’s about Artificial Intelligence and nuns. Get ready…! Betty Gilpin stars as Simone, a nun who goes to battle against an all-powerful Artificial Intelligence known as “Mrs. Davis.” This looks like it goes to some wild & crazy places – as seen in this footage. The series cast includes Jake McDorman as Wiley, an ex-boyfriend who also stands against the AI, Margo Martindale, Andy McQueen, Ben Chaplin, David Arquette, Elizabeth Marvel, and Katja Herbers. It seems like Lindelof’s meta commentary on A.I. and Facebook, mashed up with wacky ideas – let’s have a badass Nun fight the machines! Why not? I dig it, I’ll be watching.
Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Peacock’s series Mrs. Davis, direct from YouTube:
