Production

[edit]

In February 2024, Apple TV gave a series order for a television adaptation of Neuromancer by William Gibson, consisting 10 episodes.[5][6] The series was created by Graham Roland and J. D. Dillard, with Roland acting as showrunner, and Dillard directing the first three episodes.[2] Production studios include Anonymous Content, with David Levine, Garrett Kemble and Zack Hayden as executive producers, and DreamCrew Entertainment, with Aubrey "Drake" Graham, Adel "Future" Nur and Jason Shrier as executive producers. Gibson and Jennifer Haley also serve as executive producers.[7]

In April 2024, Callum Turner was cast to star in the series.[8] In June 2024, Briana Middleton joined the cast.[9] In December 2024, Joseph Lee was added to the cast,[10] with Mark Strong signing on in January 2025.[11] Clémence Poésy, Emma Laird, and Peter Sarsgaard were also reported as part the cast in March 2025,[12][13][14] with Dane DeHaan, Max Irons, André De Shields, and Marc Menchaca are all joining in their recurring roles.[15][16]

Filming began in January 2025 on location in Tokyo.[17][13]

By August 2025, Paramount Television Studios had taken over production of the series following the merger of Skydance Television's parent company Skydance Media with Paramount Global into Paramount Skydance.[18] On July 6, 2026, on the 42nd anniversary of the book's publishing, Apple released a teaser trailer for the series.[19]

Release

[edit]

The first two episodes will be available to stream on Apple TV starting January 22, 2027, with weekly episodes releasing through March 19.[2][20]
