The Peripheral Plot and Cast
The sci-fi thriller drama was created by Scott B. Smith. Based on the bestselling novel by William Gibson, it’s described as a dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.
The book centres on Flynne and her brother Burton. In the novel, Burton, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps’ elite Haptic Recon force, is hired for a security job that takes place in what he thinks is cyberspace. When Flynne temporarily takes his place, she witnesses something that might have been murder.
The main cast includes Chloë Grace Moretz as Flynne Fisher, Gary Carr as Wilf, Jack Reynor as Burton Fisher, Eli Goree as Conner, Charlotte Riley as Aelita, JJ Feild as Lev, Adeline Horan as Billy Ann Baker, T’Nia Miller as Cherise, Alex Hernandez as Tommy Constantine and Austin Rising as Leon.
We will also get to see Louis Herthum as Corbell Pickett, Chris Coy as Jasper, Melinda Page Hamilton as Ella, Katie Leung as Ash and Alexandra Billings as Detective Ainsley Lowber.
