Joss Whedon's The Nevers: Watch a Teaser for HBO's Victorian Sci-Fi Drama

The time is right now for The Nevers — that is, if you want to watch a teaser and see first photos for Joss Whedon’s long-gestating Victorian sci-fi drama for HBO.

Set to debut this April on HBO as well as stream on HBO Max, the six-episode series is set in the last years of Victoria’s reign, as London is beset by the “Touched”: people, mostly women, who suddenly manifest abnormal abilities — some charming, some very disturbing.

Among the Touched are Amalia True (played by Outlander‘s Laura Donnelly), a mysterious, quick-fisted widow, and Penance Adair (Red Rock‘s Ann Skelly), a brilliant young inventor. “They are the champions of this new underclass,” reads the synopsis, “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.”
*  *  *
The Nevers‘ cast also includes Olivia Williams (Dollhouse), James Norton (Grantchester), Tom Riley (Da Vinci’s Demons), Rochelle Neil (TV’s Das Boot), Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark), Amy Manson (Once Upon a Time), Pip Torrens (The Crown), Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story), Zackary Momoh (Seven Seconds), Elizabeth Berrington (Sanditon), Kiran Sawar (Pure), Anna Devlin, Viola Prettejohn, Ella Smith (Babylon), Nick Frost (Into the Badlands) and Ben Chaplin (The Letter for the King).

Whedon — who stepped away from the day-to-day of the project back in November, saying he was “genuinely exhausted” — created the series and executive-produced it with Bernadette Caulfield, Ilene S. Landress, Doug Petrie, Jane Espenson and Philippa Goslett (who will serve as the new showrunner).

The Nevers Character Posters Intro HBO Series' Major Power Brokers

Do not click on the link because it gives you the title and synopsis of all 6 episodes of Season 1.

In 'The Nevers,' Victorian London is rocked to its foundations by a supernatural event that gives certain people — mostly women — abnormal abilities, from the wondrous to the disturbing. But no matter their particular "turns," all who belong to this new underclass are in grave danger. It falls to mysterious, quick-fisted widow Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) and brilliant young inventor Penance Adair (Ann Skelly) to protect and shelter these gifted "orphans." To do so, they will have to face the brutal forces determined to annihilate their kind.

The posters focuses on the six of our main characters. I was guessing at who is who so I might be wrong.

Interesting reading the comments on that article from back then. Guess the rumours were already brewing (and HBO probably already knew what was going to come and fired his ass) but the commenters still dismiss it.

Also makes this comment by Whedon really funny: "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." I mean, exciting for sure but not in the sense you'd usually use that word...

As expected Miss Banner came through:

Even if you're not into fashion history and period costume this is highly entertaining and points out details you might have missed. I certainly missed a lot of things she points out about Maladie's fashion choices. And the stuff at the end about walking upstairs is such a fantastic detail, and something I'm going to train now as I like wearing long skirts and coats and dread stairs when doing so.

That was a fantastic video and now I am feeling all kinds of smug because I  actually noticed the pronounced swagger that Laura Donnelly used to walk up those stairs and I wondered about it.  NOW I understand that she was doing what is necessary to walk up stairs in a long skirt without using your hands (or tripping).

Just heard.  Another victim of the Warner Brothers/Discovery merger, I see.  Too bad since I at least wanted to see where they were going with this season.

Hopefully the cast and everyone else will move on other other things (and hopefully somewhere that currently doesn't feel like its going through a fire sale at the moment...)

Here’s the link to the Deadline story https://deadline.com/2022/12/westworld-the-nevers-pulled-hbo-max-canceled-1235197233/

They are even removing Westworld that was just canceled after 4 seasons. In what world does that make sense? The Deadline article wasn’t clear to me if Season 1B had finished with filming, though it seemed to suggest it can show up on some other platform in the company, like a FAST service

Just now, kariyaki said:

They’re removing the shows so they don’t have to pay residuals.

Yeah, the Deadline suggests end of the year financial stuff. They earlier canceled Batgirl and removed other things from the service as part of tax write offs from the merger but had a deadline to get it done. But Deadline suggests The Nevers Season 1B, and Westworld, can show up elsewhere in the company, like a FAST service (ad-supported), which seems to belie not wanting to pay residuals

They suggest that but if they're trying to create a write-off situation, then it won't happen. If they don't want to make money off it, they can't sell it, that's how it went with the DC stuff that got killed. Taking it down ASAP still keeps them from paying residuals at the moment. If they're not doing a tax write-off and move it to an ad-supported service, then that's likely a different department, different books and residuals get paid out of there.

Boycott all those Discovery +shows.

I don't watch them anyway.

Let's just say while I hope I can see some sort of natural end to the season, The Nevers isn't something that's so fabulous, so great, I'd feel greatly deprived without. It's not Firefly by any means.
