    Created by Joss Whedon (‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’, ‘Firefly’), HBO’s upcoming genre-mashing sci-fi series was ordered straight-to-series back in July 2018.

    Feb 3, 2021
    AceShowbiz – HBO has unleashed the first trailer for its upcoming genre-mashing series “The Nevers” for viewing pleasure. Released on Tuesday, February 2, the trailer of the sci-fi series features Victorian ladies showcasing their superpowers.
    It opens with Lord Massen narrating in voiceover, “It came three years ago, a power that mocks God. Those afflicted are Touched.” A silhouette of what seems like a monster flickers on screen before Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) and inventor Penance Adair (Ann Skelly) enter in fashion.
    Later, the trailer hints at the Touched being in danger. “In this war, the cops, the purists, there’s not shortage of people who hate us,” someone notes in voiceover. Elsewhere in the video, Donnelly’s Mrs. True is seen fighting some men who seemingly try to kill a woman who is like her.

    Created by Joss Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Firely”), “The Nevers'” was ordered straight-to-series back in July 2018. Its official synopsis reads, “In the last years of Victoria’s reign, London is beset by the ‘Touched’: people — mostly women — who suddenly manifest abnormal abilities — some charming, some very disturbing. Among them are Amalia True (Laura Donnelly), a mysterious, quick-fisted widow, and Penance Adair (Ann Skelly), a brilliant young inventor. They are the champions of this new underclass, making a home for the Touched, while fighting the forces of… well, pretty much all the forces — to make room for those whom history as we know it has no place.”
    Also starring on the series are Olivia Williams, James Norton, Tom Riley, Rochelle Neil, Eleanor Tomlinson, Amy Manson and Pip Torrens. The cast further includes Denis O’Hare, Zackary Momoh, Elizabeth Berrington, Kiran Sawar, Anna Devlin, Viola Prettejohn, Ella Smith, Nick Frost and Ben Chaplin.
    “The Nevers” is set to air on HBO in April, though a specific date has yet to be announced.

      Philippa Goslett Replaces Joss Whedon on HBO's 'The Nevers'

      by

      HBO

      The ‘Mary Magdalene’ director has been enlisted to fill in the vacant spot left by the former Marvel filmmaker after he quit following ‘Justice League’ woes.

      Jan 31, 2021
      AceShowbiz – British filmmaker Philippa Goslett has stepped in to replace Joss Whedon on HBO sci-fi drama “The Nevers”.
      Whedon exited the project last year (20), citing work pressures while insisting the show was too big for him.
      This will be “Mary Magdalene” director Goslett’s first major television gig. She will also serve as an executive producer.
      The drama follows a group of Victorian women with superpowers.

      It was set to be Whedon’s first TV series since he co-created “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and the first solely created by him since the cult 2009 Fox drama “Dollhouse”, according to Deadline.
      When announcing his exit from the new TV project last year, Joss Whedon said, “This year of unprecedented challenges has impacted my life and perspective in ways I could never have imagined, and while developing and producing The Nevers has been a joyful experience, I realize that the level of commitment required moving forward, combined with the physical challenges of making such a huge show during a global pandemic, is more than I can handle without the work beginning to suffer.”
      “I am genuinely exhausted, and am stepping back to martial my energy towards my own life, which is also at the brink of exciting change.”
      Whedon’s exit came after “Justice League” actor Ray Fisher accused him of “abusive” and “unprofessional” behaviour on the set of the film, prompting an investigation at Warner Bros. which, like HBO, is a part of WarnerMedia.

      “The Nevers” is billed as “an epic science fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.”
      Whedon’s exit comes after “Justice League” actor Ray Fisher accused him of “abusive” and “unprofessional” behaviour on the set of the film, prompting an investigation at Warner Bros. which, like HBO, is a part of WarnerMedia.
