AMC Orders Sci-Fi Thriller Series 'Moonhaven'
From 'Lodge 49' Showrunner Peter Ocko
---------------------------------------------
AMC and AMC Plus have given a formal series order to the
series "Moonhaven" from Peter Ocko.

News of the order comes after it was reported that AMC
had opened a writers' room for the show under their
script-to-series model. The series is expected to debut
next year.

"Moonhaven" is focused on a utopian colony on the Moon
that may hold the keys to preserving life on Earth,
which has become increasingly perilous. It follows Bella
Sway, a lunar cargo pilot and smuggler 100 years in the
future who finds herself accused of a crime and marooned
on Moonhaven, a utopian community set on a 500 square
mile Garden of Eden built on the Moon to find solutions
to the problems that will soon end civilization on
Mother Earth. A skeptic in Paradise, Bella is sucked
into a conspiracy to gain control of the artificial
intelligence responsible for Moonhaven's miracles and
teams with a local detective to stop the forces that
want to destroy Earth's last hope before they are
destroyed themselves.

"What so intrigued us about 'Moonhaven' is that it is a
suspense thriller set a century in the future that, at
its heart, could not be more relevant today," said Dan
McDermott, president of original programming for AMC
Networks and AMC Studios. "Peter and his writing team
have constructed some unforgettable characters and a
story we know will captivate viewers and probe complex
and deeply emotional issues that are top of mind today
and have the potential to threaten existence on the
only planet we have ever called home."

Ocko is the writer and executive producer of "Moonhaven"
and will also serve as showruner. Deb Spera will also
executive produce. AMC Studios will produce the series,
with Ocko currently under an overall deal there.

"I'm incredibly excited to go to the Moon with AMC,"
Ocko said. "They have always been a great partner in
supporting shows that are truly different from the rest
and I look forward to staying true to that brand."
