At New York Comic Con, Prime Video recently debuted the official trailer for their new sci-fi thriller series, The Peripheral. Chloë Grace Moretz plays a young woman from 2032 who enters "Sims" virtual simulations to go to 2099 in order to earn quick cash to cover her dying mother's medical expenses.

What is The Peripheral All About?

The Peripheral trailer presents a well-crafted sci-fi tale that criticizes society's increasing fixation on technology. Flynne Fisher (Moretz) decides to take part in a "Sim" that her brother Burton (Reynor) was requested to beta test at the start of the trailer. Flynn uses an avatar to experience a virtual "Sim," version of London in the year 2099.

Things take a grim turn, however, when danger in the "Sim" begins to mix into Flynne's present. The mind-bending teaser is a lot to take in, and it reveals that the series will combine time travel themes with an examination of the hazards of technology.
