Event highlights include The Peripheral branded carpet complete with ‘koids’ from the series. Talent and guests were treated to the premiere episode of the series followed by a themed party hosted by Manuela at Hauser & Wirth. Partygoers entered past a replica of Flynne and Burton’s Airstream trailer and heard beats by DJ Amrit while sipping themed cocktails like the Gibson (a nod to sci-fi author Willam S. Gibson, who penned the novel), participating in the interactive gaming station and posing for photos with the faceless living ‘Koids’ from the series. 

We had the opportunity to interview the cast of The Peripheral at last night’s premiere. Check out what they had to say about the new series.

The show follows Flynne Fisher (Chloe Grace Moretz) lives in the rural American South and works at the local 3D printing shop while earning much-needed extra money playing VR games for rich people.  One night she dons a headset and finds herself in futuristic London—a sleek and mysterious world, alluringly different from her hardscrabble existence.  But this isn’t like any game she’s ever played before:  Flynne begins to realize it isn’t virtual reality… it’s real.  Someone in London, seventy years in the future, has found a way to open a door to Flynne’s world.  And as utterly beguiling as London is… it’s also dangerous.  As Flynne searches to discover who has connected their worlds, and for what purpose, her presence here sets dangerous forces into motion…forces intent on destroying Flynne and her family in her world. The Peripheral is master storyteller William Gibson’s dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.

The Peripheral is produced by Amazon Studios and Warner Bros Television, in association with Kilter Films. Executive producers for The Peripheral are the creator and showrunner Scott B. Smith (A Simple Plan), director Vincenzo Natali (In the Tall Grass), Greg Plageman (Person of Interest), Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (Westworld), Athena Wickham (Westworld), and Steven Hoban (In the Tall Grass).

Prime Video’s “The Peripheral” will premiere on Friday, October 21, 2022, exclusively on Prime Video.
