Channel 4’s Humans – Colin Morgan in first-look image

Ivanno Jeremiah & Colin Morgan take centre stage in this first-look image from Channel 4’s upcoming sci-fi drama Humans.

Co-commissioned with American cable broadcaster AMC, and made by Spooks producers Kudos, the show is set in a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a ‘Synth’ – a highly-developed robotic servant eerily similar to its live counterpart.

In the hope of transforming the way they live, one strained suburban family purchases a refurbished synth only to discover that sharing life with a machine has far-reaching and chilling consequences.

Jeremiah plays ‘Synth’ Max while Morgan plays Leo.

The pair are joined by William Hurt as George Millican, a widower who has formed a close relationship with his out-of-date synth Odi, who he treats more like a son than a piece of machinery.
 
BAFTA award-winning Katherine Parkinson co-stars as Laura, a woman who seems to have it all – a great career as a lawyer, a loving husband, three children. But inside she’s struggling with her own unresolved demons.

In a misguided attempt to help the situation her husband Joe, played by Olivier award-winning Tom Goodman Hill, buys a Synth. 

Played by Gemma Chan, Anita is the pliant, servile automaton that all Synths are supposed to be – but every now and then, she does something inexplicable.  Something…almost human
 
Colin Morgan plays Leo, who’s desperately trying to track down someone from his past; BAFTA award-winning Rebecca Front plays the NHS funded overbearing carer synth, Vera; and Neil Maskell takes on the role of police officer D.S Peter Drummond, who works for the Special Technologies Task Force.
