Watch the Moonhaven Trailer
The official trailer of Moonhaven that AMC+ dropped in June 2022 gives you a good idea of what this new sci-fi series is all about. It introduces the Haven - a verdant and colorful environment on one corner of the Moon, followed by whimsical settings, out-of-the-world structures, and not to mention, fantastic spacecraft. You are sure to get drawn in by the arresting visuals showcasing the futuristic living environment, built on ideals that most people set out with when settling on a new planet (as we have often seen in such stories). Watch the trailer to see it firsthand.
Moonhaven does seem a classic sci-fi story but at the same time, it also looks like it won’t be your average space-age drama/thriller. There are a lot of mystery-thriller elements to the narrative, which could become the highlight of this series. We also get to see the major cast members in the trailer and what role they would be playing. McDonald’s Bella Sway seems to be the antagonist of the story, who brings disruption to the beautiful and tranquil land. What appears to be a paradise for humans suddenly becomes hellish, because, let’s face it, humans tend to attract the dark forces wherever they go. And thus, we have the first murder in a long time in the lunar utopia.
When Is the Moonhaven Finale Releasing?
The final episode of Moonhaven will stream on August 4, 2022, only on AMC+.
What Is Moonhaven About?
The plot of Moonhaven is set 100 years in the future in a human colony on the Moon. The idea behind building this colony is to find solutions to the climatic problems that are pushing humans to extinction on Earth. People here seem to be strongly tied to that belief and purpose. And then Bella Sway comes to town. She is a smuggler and cargo pilot who crash lands in this picture-perfect world and gets stranded. But she doesn’t seem to agree with the philosophy of Moonhaven.
Meanwhile, there’s another bunch of people, known as Earth Extremists, who land on the colony with the agenda of gaining control of the AI that runs Moonhaven. These people are clearly different from the locals. Between the evil Earthers (as the locals call them) and idealist colonists, Bella gets wrapped up in a sinister conspiracy that causes chaos, distrust, and even murders on the moon’s paradise.
Simply put, Moonhaven is a thrilling space-age drama but unique in its narrative. There are all the ingredients of sci-fi, as well as abundant mystery, thriller, and action, making this an all-rounded story that sci-fi fans would definitely enjoy.
Here's the official synopsis of Moonhaven from AMC+:
A skeptic in Paradise, Earth pilot Bella Sway is sucked into a conspiracy to gain control of Moonhaven, a utopian colony on the Moon 100 years in the future. She must team up with a local detective to stop forces that want to destroy Earth’s last hope before they are destroyed themselves.
