Brave New World will imagine a utopian society that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family and even history. Deadline writes that the show will revolve around Bernard Marx and Lenina Crowne, who have only known a rigid social order, a perfect pharmaceutical called Soma and a culture of instant gratification and ubiquitous sex. Their curiosity to explore life beyond their society leads them to travel to Savage Lands, where they become embroiled in a rebellion before being rescued by John the Savage (played by Ehrenreich). Morrison and Weiner will serve as executive producers alongside Amblin TV’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey. The first episode will be directed by Owen Harris, who will also executive produce. Taylor will act as executive producer on the first episode. Brave New World marks the television debut for Ehrenreich, who has also starred in Rules Don’t Apply, Blue Jasmine, Tetro and Beautiful Creatures.
