Tales from the Loop trailer: Amazon Prime Video's sci-fi show to bring artist Simon Stålenhag's works to life

Amazon Studios has announced its upcoming show Tales from the Loop, executive produced by Matt Reeves, will premiere on 3 April. It has also revealed a new trailer from the eight-episode miniseries, created and written by Nathaniel Halpern.

Based on Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag's works, Tales from the Loop explores the town and people who live above “The Loop,” a machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe – making things possible that were previously relegated only to science fiction. In this fantastical mysterious town, poignant human tales are told that bare universal emotional experiences, while drawing on the intrigue of genre storytelling.

For the show, I did three special versions of the art from the original book. I had really fun doing these. It was so cool to get to incorporate the actual locations and characters/actors from the show: pic.twitter.com/A3am7eHCHk — Simon Stålenhag (@simonstalenhag) February 27, 2020
