Starring Rebecca Hall (The Prestige), Daniel Zolghadri (Eighth Grade) and Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes), the series explores an underground facility known as The Loop, which makes science fiction a reality for a small town. As it was based on an art book rather than a written novel, expect to see Stålenhag's paintings beautifully recreated as live-action shots in the show.
