Netflixhas released the teaser trailer for a new Thai anthology seriesTomorrow and Ithat looks like it could fill theBlack Mirrorvoid in my life.
If the series is anything likeBlack Mirror, thenTomorrow and Ihas a high chance of becoming one of thebest Netflix showsandbest sci-fi shows from around the world. It similarly combines futuristic technologies with social politics (but instead of a western focus, this will be more about Thai culture), which could be a winning formula for thebest streaming service.
Much like the acclaimedBlack Mirror, the seriesuses sci-fi technology and dystopian themes to make a statement on social issues but with a Thai twist, which will be very interesting to see while I wait forBlack Mirrorseason 7 to arrive in 2025.
Tomorrow and Iwas first announced earlier this year as part of the streaming giant’s Southeast Asian production slate and now the streaming giant has unveiled a sneak peek forNetflix’s Geeked Week(see below), which features a wacky montage of Thai citizens engaging in everyday activities within a world dominated by dystopian high-tech.
What is Tomorrow and I about?
Tomorrow and Iconsists of four 70-minute episodes that explore the clash between conservative Thai traditions and modern technology. Each episode touches upon controversial topics, such as bringing loved ones back from the dead through cloning technology, intelligent sex robots, how artificial intelligence can challenge or revolutionize ancient Buddhist teachings, and how humanity might rely on ‘octopuses’ to survive in flooded cities.
Tomorrow and Iwill encourage you to use your imagination and challenge your perceptions of a world where technology takes over every aspect of our lives. It’s also the first of a series of projects from Thailand, as the company toldVariety: “This groundbreaking anthology series is the first sci-fi title from Netflix Thailand, where we continue to push the boundaries of local storytelling.”
Tomorrow and I,which is directed by Paween Purijitpanya, isn’t the only Thai project that Netflix is backing this year with crime thrillerBangkok Breaking: Heaven and Hell,rom-com seriesReady, Set, Love,horror anthology seriesTerror Tuesday: Extreme,and dark mysteryDon’t Come Homeall making up their expanding roster of Thai content.
