[This story contains spoilers from season one of Supacell.]
Supacell is, in many ways, a love letter to drama, sci-fi, Black talent and south London — but it is not a superhero story.
That’s what its showrunner, Rapman, wants fans to know. The six-part series has stormed into Netflix‘s most-watched programs this month and currently sits in the top spot on its global television list, having accrued nearly 12 million views.
Rapman — or “Raps” as he says he’s known among friends and colleagues — is a quadruple threat. The Briton, whose real name is Andrew Onwubolu, is a rapper, record producer, screenwriter and director. Finding fame on YouTube through the medium of rap, the 35-year-old made his writing and directorial debut with the 2019 feature Blue Story, a musical crime drama that earned international distribution through Paramount. Around that same time, Rapman began concocting a piece of television that asked the question: “What if there was a sci-fi where...

Mark Molloy’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is doing the Neutron Dance atop other films in Netflix‘s library for the second consecutive week! According to Netflix, the sequel starring Eddie Murphy in one of his most iconic roles held the top spot on the English Films List with 22.2M views. Nostalgia is mighty when it comes to racking up numbers on Netflix. It helps that Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is fun and features a cast of veteran actors reliving the glory days that helped make them household names. Regardless of the reason, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is a hit, and Murphy deserves kudos for his efforts to make Axel’s latest case a thrilling revival.

Netflix fans, it’s time to rejoice! Supacell, the British sci-fi show that has captivated audiences, holds a 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and continues to make waves as it gears up for its second season. Created by Rapman, the series’ unique angle on superpowers and grim realism sets it apart from the usual superhero fare. The Unique Angle of Supacell Rapman brings a fresh perspective to the superhero genre with his narrative driven by social commentary.

“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” was the most watched title on Netflix during the week of July 1-7, hitting 41 million views in its first five days of streaming.
It was followed by last week’s No. 1 title, the Zac Efron-Nicole Kidman romance film “A Family Affair,” which held strong with 31.9 million views in its first full week of availability, an improvement from last week’s 26.8 million views. Jessica Alba’s “Trigger Warning” was the No. 3 movie with 8 million views.
At the top of the TV chart for July 1-7 was “Supacell,” the sci-fi drama created by British rapper Rapman. After debuting the week before at No. 2 with 6.4 million views, the series hit 11.8 million views in its first full week of streaming.

This week's Pilot TV Podcast starts on a sombre note as Kay and Boyd help James come to terms with the cancellation of another one of his favourite shows, Prime Video's timey-wimey sci-fi Outer Range. And so, in honour of the show's passing — and completely unrelated to the time-sensitive recording of an upcoming spoiler special that may or may not involve Rapman and his brilliant Netflix show Supacell — the team took a step into their own time-traveling hole and recorded this week's episode all out of sequence. As you can imagine, chaos ensues!
Still, amidst the anarchy and all-out-of-orderness of things, James, Kay, and Boyd manage to discuss both the British and American elections, the third episode of House Of The Dragon, and this week's all-important listener question: which classic shows would've benefitted from more series/episodes, and which could've done with fewer?

Netflix is known as the biggest streaming service out there, with the largest number of subscribers and, of course, the largest number of original content. Whether you want movies, series, or animated series, regardless of the genre, Netflix is definitely going to have something for you to enjoy.

Netflix, the streaming giant known for its high production output, has struggled to maintain successful superhero series in recent years. However, the newly released “Supacell” may be poised to change this trend, boasting a perfect 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and strong audience engagement.
The streaming platform has a history of canceling superhero shows prematurely, often after just one or two seasons, despite positive reviews and dedicated fan bases. Notable casualties include “I Am Not Okay With This,” “Jupiter’s Legacy,” “Lockwood & Co.,” “Warrior Nun,” and “Raising Dion.” Even the successful “The Umbrella Academy” is set to conclude after its fourth season, with a planned spin-off already scrapped.
Netflix’s cancellation decisions are reportedly based on metrics such as total views and completion rates. The latter may be particularly crucial for superhero shows, which typically require larger budgets due to special effects. Competing with established superhero content on other platforms like...

Superman is a reporter. Batman is an industrialist. The Incredible Hulk is a physicist. Even superheroes have jobs to do, obligations to fulfill, errands to run. In Supacell, five South Londoners unexpectedly discover that they have superpowers. But they still have real-world problems, and life doesn’t just stop because you can travel through time with a snap of your fingers.
This was always important to series creator Rapman, he tells Tudum. “I want to tell a story about powers, but with normal people [who have] relationship problems, problems with their children, problems with their siblings, problems at work, problems on the streets.”
Across the series’ six episodes, these five newly minted superheroes adjust to the powers, applying them to their everyday lives — while also doing battle with a mysterious agency that seeks to capture, control, and maybe kill them. As the series races toward its explosive finale, the characters...

The Dark Lord is rising, and the battle for Middle-earth is about to begin. The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power returns to our screens this summer for a second season that sees the stakes higher than ever – Sauron has revealed himself, Galadriel is out for redemption, war is coming, and there are some of those titular rings in play.

The reports of the superhero genre's death have been greatly exaggerated. Make no mistake, the Marvel Cinematic Universe almost certainly won't be returning to the levels of popularity it reached with the Infinity Saga, and who knows what will come out of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe reboot. Still, it's silly to act like superhero culture is dead and waiting to be buried, not least of all when "Deadpool & Wolverine" is tracking for a huge box office opening near the end of this month.

A Family Affair, a romcom starring Nicole Kidman, Joey King and Zac Efron, was the most-watched movie of the week on Netflix, beating debuts such as Jessica Alba’s Trigger Warning and Glen Powell’s Hit Man.
The film, which was directed by Richard Lagravenese, scored 26.8M views since its launch on June 28.
This put it above Trigger Warning’s debut of 25.7M views and Hit Man’s 10.8M views but it couldn’t match Jennifer Lopez’s Atlas, which opened with 28.2M views.
Trigger Warning grew, however, coming in second place with 26.3M views in its second week.
The big news in Netflix’s charts this week was Bridgerton, which saw its third season enter the streamer’s most popular TV list at number ten with 91.9M views to date.

Then, back in the pod booth, James, Kay, and Boyd catch up on Rapman's brilliant Netflix supes series Supacell and the latest episode of The Acolyte before getting stuck in to a busy week's worth of news, discussing our first look at Slow Horses Season 4, Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd's new drama series Lions, and Ben Mendelsohn's upcoming return as Director Orson Krennic in Andor Season 2.

While it may feel like audiences around the world are tired of the superhero genre and tend to skip all the new Marvel and DC premieres, there is still a lot of potential in the genre. It is now up to the writers and producers to find new approaches to the subject.
The Boys, Prime Video's black satire of the genre, does this well. Pushing the clichés to the point of absurdity, it paints a picture of what the real world would actually be like with superheroes. The abuse of power, political intrigue, and never-ending violence are the biggest parts of it. Netflix's new hit Supacell offers a different perspective.

In Rapman’s Supacell series, we came across a bunch of individuals whose parents or ancestors had a history of a real-life genetic disorder called sickle cell disease (Scd), also known as sickle cell anemia. The life-long illness genetically mutates the red blood cells (often known as the oxygen carriers) into sickle-shaped cells that can block the natural flow of blood. In such a case, the affected RBCs die a premature death due to Scd, which causes a shortage of oxygen in the human body that leads to chronic body pain, fatigue, infections, and, in some cases, stroke.

Netflix’s Supacell, created by Rapman, introduces us to five main characters: Michael, Tazer, Sabrina, Andre, and Rodney, each with their own unique superpowers. It’s pretty clear that Michael is the leader and the driving force that brings these characters together. Each of them faces their own struggles, but their similarities lie in the fact that being near each other activates the Supacell in their bodies, which triggers their powers. Interestingly, all of them have family members with sickle cell disease. This is why they inherited Supacell from a gene mutation. But Michael didn’t have any idea about it. He’s just an ordinary black guy going about his daily routine until everything changes when he discovers his powers. What exactly happened to him? What can we expect from him in the future? Let’s dive into that in this article.

So, I suppose it’s good news for all those who really liked Rapman’s Supacell, as the series is already trending on the Netflix Top Ten, which hints at the possibility that it might get renewed for a second season. However, there is no official confirmation from the streaming platform, and therefore, we might have to wait a little longer for the good news to come. But until then, there’s nothing keeping us from cooking up our own theories and speculating on what we can expect in the next season, right? Those who crammed the first season down know that it ended on a cliffhanger, setting the stage for a major faceoff between the two opposing forces in South London. So, what are these two rivals going to do next? Let’s explore.

Rapman had to practically be a superhero himself to develop Supacell for Netflix, but his perseverance paid off.
“Rapman got Netflix to rent him a tiny office a 10-minute drive away from his home in tennis-mad Wimbledon… He wrote two or three full episodes and a show bible that charted every single twist and turn. Netflix read it and greenlit it within days. He allows that the experience, as painful as it sometimes was, has made him a better writer. And better able to understand his way around the streaming world.”

Exclusive: Rapman utilized a superpower of his own — one that didn’t require him to don figure-hugging spandex tights and a cape — to survive the setbacks he encountered making the earthshaking new Netflix drama Supacell that began streaming Thursday.
“My superpower is discipline,” he declares.

Warning: contains spoilers for the Supacell finale.
Supacell’s finale is action-packed, including the kind of big superpower smackdown we were promised from episode one. But among all that, there was a huge reveal that slipped by almost so quickly you might not have noticed – the reason for the show’s name.
The reveal comes when the super strength-wielding Andre is taken into custody by the mysterious organisation that has been monitoring Supacell’s powered individuals. As Eddie Marsan’s politely sinister official attempts to recruit Andre, he tells him, “At least one of your parents had sickle cell, or they both had the trait. And supacell is a mutation of sickle cell. It’s very rare, and even if you have it, it can lay dormant in your body forever. But it can also awaken, given the right conditions. Close proximity with another activated supacell is most common.”

Supacell’s ending was predictable. In cliche Netflix fashion, it set the premise and introduced the characters without revealing much about the main antagonist of the series. It had all the bearings of a six-episode clickbait because, to be honest, we have all been waiting for some shocking revelations till the very end. Unfortunately, there was only one, and that too was in the closing shot of the final episode. It was just two weeks ago that I had a similar experience with Joko Anwar’s Netflix original titled Nightmares and Daydreams. Over the course of eight episodes, it introduced a bunch of people with superpowers who would fight against evil in the next installment. It seems like Netflix has come up with a new directive for its creators. I understand that after the Marvel boom, everyone wants to emulate the formula of the superhero genre, but at least have...

Created by British rapper and director Rapman, Supacell is a new action thriller series on Netflix that comes with a rather unnatural premise. Set in South London, the series follows the lives of five ordinary individuals who suddenly realize that they possess some unique superpowers in them. In order to figure out the mystery behind these superpowers, the characters must unite and find some common trait among them, as the only apparent one is that they are all Black. Supacell is quite thrilling and makes for an exciting watch, mostly because we have not really seen something like this play out on Ott screens before.
Spoiler Alert
What is the Netflix series about?
Supacell begins with a short teaser of the wild action that is about to come in a scene that shows a woman desperately trying to escape some facility where she has been evidently kept hostage for a long time.

Supacell is a British superhero drama series created by Rapman. The Netflix series is getting love from all over the world, and it deserves that because it takes a lot of bold leaps and gives us a thrilling ride filled with complex characters and their interesting story. Supacell is set in South London and follows the story of a group of people who suddenly develop superpowers. The only thing that is similar to all of them is that they are all Black. Supacell stars Tosin Cole in the lead role, with Nadine Mills, Adelayo Adedayo, Josh Tedeku, Calvin Demba, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, and Giacomo Mancini starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the mystery, thrill, and superhero elements in Supacell, here are some similar shows you could watch next.

In his new Netflix series, “Supacell,” creator Rapman examines the lives of five ordinary Black South Londoners who develop unexpected superpowers. Though the excitement of supernatural abilities and the magic of science fiction ripple across the show, the series also explores major themes that disproportionately affect Black people, including human trafficking, extreme surveillance, pervasive global anti-Blackness and predatory medical practices.
“Supacell” opens with a distressing event. An older Black woman is seen running down a dark corridor dressed only in a hospital gown. As she steps toward the sunlight, she is gunned down. Her limp body is then dragged back through the facility as prisoners — all Black people — look on in horror from glass cells. From there, the setting transitions into more familiar territory. Viewers find themselves on the modern streets of South London, where we meet Michael (a stellar Tosin Cole), a package delivery courier anxious about proposing to his long-term girlfriend,...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to discover you had superpowers? Not the flashy kind that lets you fly or shoot lasers from your eyes, but abilities to help with everyday problems, like running really fast to get to work on time or lifting a stuck bus to rescue passengers inside. That’s the premise of Supacell, a new British drama now streaming on Netflix.
Created by talented filmmaker Rapman, Supacell is set in the vibrant neighborhoods of South London. We meet several characters going about their daily lives: Michael is a delivery driver juggling responsibilities; Sabrina works hard as a nurse; and Andre is an ex-con trying to do better. They don’t realize they have a connection until strange things start happening. Michael makes a startling discovery about his own newly emerging talents after a shocking accident.
As secrets unfold, we learn these powers are not isolated events.

Tosin Cole has already been part of two of the best-known sci-fi franchises around.
Sure, the American-born British actor admits his turn as starfighter pilot Lieutenant Bastian in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was perhaps a little “blink-and-you’ll miss it” (although it could have been a lot more — he got down to the final few auditioning for John Boyega’s role of Finn but “it just didn’t work out” and J.J. Abrams offered him this part instead). But in BBC cult series “Doctor Who,” however, across seasons 11 and 12, he played the main character of Ryan Sinclair, companion to Jodie Whittaker’s Time Lord. It all gives him some solid bragging rights.
“You know, I can tell my grandkids, ‘Your granddaddy was in this show!,’” he exclaims.
But now there’s another sci-fi that he hopes could also become something to tell the grandchildren about in years to come.

On the Pilot TV podcast this week we get the lowdown on Netflix’s South London superhero series Supacell from the show’s creator, Rapman, who dropped by for a chat with Empire's very own hero Alex Godfrey about bringing supes back down to Earth (literally) with his Black-led superpower saga [approx 23:30 - 46:15]. Due to embargo, our pod review of Supacell will drop on Pilot+ later this week. But, while we’re talking about things we couldn’t review for the pod this week, you can also look forward to a whole debacle about The Bear (a Bearbacle?) that plays out in the booth — so if you happened to be joining us to find out what Carmy and the gang have been up to in Season 3 of everybody's favourite restaurant-set drama, you may well be disappointed.

Back in early 2020, the British musician turned filmmaker Andrew Onwubolu — better known by his stage name Rapman — was readying for the release of his feature directorial debut “Blue Story” in the U.S. Based on his own experience living in South London, the musical crime drama tells the story of two friends from different neighborhoods who become embroiled in deadly gang wars. The film had already been a hit on home soil, making £4.7 million ($6 million) from a budget of £1.4 million ($1.8 million) the previous November, becoming the most successful British urban film of all time.
Sadly, like so many films due out in 2020, “Blue Story” was an early casualty of the Covid-19 pandemic. Paramount pulled its planned U.S. theatrical release and set it for digital months later. Another film Rapman was developing — “American Son,” Paramount’s remake of French hit “A Prophet” due to star Russell Crowe — also fell apart.

Supacell scenes occur, as perhaps all scenes should, outside Bargain Booze and Wimpy. You can practically smell the knickerbocker glories. Set and shot in South London, with a predominantly Black cast, the action – the gang violence, the marriage proposals, the drug deals, the super-powered throwdowns – takes place on the estates, on the streets and in the clubs, in Peckham, Lewisham, Brixton, Camberwell. It’s genuinely homegrown, a tribute to creator and writer Rapman’s roots and life experience, and that pays off in practically every shot. It’s almost shocking to see something like this today, a drama that dwells in such a sandbox and doesn’t feel like it’s been made by committee — it’s an unfiltered vision, a defibrillator of a show helping to bring an increasingly spluttering genre back to life.

This spoiler-free review is based on all six episodes.
Movie superheroes are intrinsically tied to comic books. The language, the shape of the narrative arcs and the visuals are nearly always either inspired by or reacting against the genre as established in four colours. Even supposedly grounded and gritty takes like M Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable use Bruce Willis’s poncho to signify a cape, with every shot framed to look like a comic book panel.
The most faithful screen realization of that imagery is usually the lavish CGI cinema spectacle, with TV all too often seen as its poor relation. The truth is, TV superheroism is now a genre all of its own, with its own tropes, rules and language that have for the most part left the comics far behind.

Going back to the immigrant/foundling who became Superman, the superhero genre has often been used as an exploration of what happens when people from variably disenfranchised groups find themselves with unexpected levels of power. Whether the result leads to enhanced altruism or diabolical megalomania is the difference between a hero and a villain.
Not all audiences are so eager to read for subtext, which has led to recent stories that push the subtext to the surface and the superpowers occasionally to the background, whether the goal is to make stubborn pre-existing audiences get the point (see X-Men ’97), to make an audience that probably never watched in the first place get the point (Amazon’s short-lived The Power) or to make a low-iq potato get the point (season four of The Boys)
It’s the genre storytelling equivalent of a bacon-wrapped date. I’ll leave it for you to decide,...

As far as the three young women sitting in row E at London’s Bush Theatre were concerned, the name of the character Tosin Cole was playing in Benedict Lombe’s “spicy” love story Shifters, wasn’t Dre — short for Dream — but “Dreamboat.”
It’s a double whammy of love, well, sort of, for Cole, who also stars in Rapman’s game-changing Netflix drama Supacell, playing a love-struck south London courier who discovers he has developed superpowers.

Back at the Bush, one of the women leant forward and cried, ”Bring Dreamboat over ‘ere to me now!”

Lionsgate has unleashed a high-octane trailer for the action-packed ‘Kill.’
When army commando Amrit (Lakshya) finds out his true love Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) is engaged against her will, he boards a New Delhi-bound train in a daring quest to derail the arranged marriage. But when a gang of knife-wielding thieves led by the ruthless Fani (Raghav Juyal) begin to terrorise innocent passengers on his train, Amrit takes them on himself in a death-defying kill-spree to save those around him — turning what should have been a typical commute into an adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride. Written and directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the cast includes Lakshya, Tanya Maniktala and Raghav Juyal.

With the MCU taking off into the multiverse in recent years and super-violent superhero series The Boys only getting crazier as it races towards its finale, Blue Story director Rapman's upcoming Netflix show Supacell is set to bring supes back down to Earth — quite literally. Set in South London, led by a Black ensemble, and taking inspiration from the likes of Heroes and Misfits, based on the new trailer Netflix released yesterday, Rapman is bringing an exciting new perspective to the well-worn genre Check it out below;
So much for superhero fatigue, eh? And you can definitely see those Misfits and Heroes influences in this new trailer as Rapman seamlessly blends now-familiar genre features — Superspeed! Superstrength! Time travel! Portals! — with character driven street-level drama. But whilst Rapman tips his cap to his supe show contemporaries here, the multi-hyphenate creator introduces a compelling new wrinkle to the "ordinary people gain...

For any pop culture website that features a sizable amount of coverage of superhero-related properties, there is a legal obligation to use the phrase “Superhero fatigue” a minimum number of times a year. The earliest reference we’ve found to it was as far back as 2003, followed by a Tweet from 2009, a few months before the release of Iron Man 2, claiming that Disney’s deal with Marvel would have been better business four or five years previously, at the peak of the superhero craze.
But while at times it seems like someone must have been peering over Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s shoulders as they penned Action Comics Issue 1 saying “Hasn’t this idea been a bit overdone?”, the truth is that at both Marvel and DC, the superhero genre has seemed to be flagging of late.
So it seems like a bold move to choose now to release Supacell,...

"Just think about all the lives you could save!" "The only life I'm trying to save is yours..." So go save her! Netflix has revealed the main official trailer for a UK thriller series titled Supacell, arriving for streaming later this month. It's the next creation by the Blue Story director who goes under the moniker "Rapman", telling an urban London story about people with super powers. Supacell is about a group of five ordinary people who unexpectedly develop superpowers. They have little in common except for one thing: they are all Black South Londoners. It is down to one man, Michael Lasaki, to bring them all together in order to save the woman he loves. The series stars Tosin Cole as Michael, Nadine Mills as Sabrina, Eric Kofi Abrefa as Andre, Calvin Demba as Rodney, Josh Tedeku as Tazer, Adelayo Adedayo as Dionne, Rayxia Ojo as Sharleen, and Giacomo Mancini as Spud.

Last month Eddie Marsan faced a happy dilemma: two high-profile projects in which he co-stars –Apple TV+ series “Franklin” led by Michael Douglas and Sam Taylor Johnson’s highly-anticipated Amy Winehouse biopic “Back to Black” – were both being released on the same day, April 12, in Marsan’s native U.K. (“Back to Black came out in the U.S. on May 17).
The resulting publicity maelstrom was, Marsan says, “intense.” And yet despite that, the actor – who has starred in over 150 screen projects including “Ray Donovan,” “Deadpool 2” and Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes,” can truthfully claim to be “not really that famous.”
Partly that’s because his highest profile roles in the U.S. have seen the East London-born actor putting on an American accent, including in “Franklin,” in which he plays the second U.S. President, John Adams. Marsan has a long history with the character, having once been...

For his follow-up to Blue Story, Rapman is going big. The multi-talented creator announced himself as a filmmaker to watch with his hit debut feature film – earning sizeable box office and a raft of positive reviews, despite controversial cinema bans on his tale of childhood friends driven apart by gang violence. His latest project, Supacell, isn’t a film but a Netflix series – an original show about a group of South Londoners who develop superpowers, exploring how their lives are forever changed.
While the idea of ordinary people receiving extraordinary abilities is a familiar format, Rapman is bringing his own personal perspective to it – while drawing from what came before in beloved shows like Heroes and Misfits. “I loved Heroes,” he tells Empire. “It was the closest to my image of what I thought a show about superpowers should be like. It was a massive inspiration.” And while he’s bringing in genre elements,...

Amazon UK MD Chris Bird was among the latest group of industry execs to appear in front of the UK’s British Film & High-End TV Inquiry this afternoon, during which he revealed how much cash the streamer has invested in content from UK broadcasters for the first time.
“We have spent more than $400 million licensing, co-producing, and co-commissioning content from the UK Public Service Broadcasters,” Bird said. “Not only to make bigger and better shows but we’ve also helped produce everything from Steve McQueen’s Small Axe and Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag to the recently announced second and third seasons of The Night Manager with the BBC.”
Deadline was first to break news of The Night Manager returning with Tom Hiddleston signed on to star.

Supacell is a British superhero series heading to Netflix in June from Rapman, and here’s the trailer.
While America generally has the monopoly on superhero films, Britain has had its fair share of caped crusaders over the years.
The most recent example is Emma Moran’s Extraordinary, which is now available to watch on Itvx. From 2009 to 2013, Howard Overman achieved huge success with five series of irreverent comedy drama Misfits. Drew Pearce, who went on to co-write Iron Man 3 with Shane Black, began his career writing the little seen superhero sitcom No Heroics in 2008.
Perhaps the biggest shame, though, is that the film adaptation of clasic 1970s cartoon Bananaman, which was voiced by Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden, also known as The Goodies, never materialised, though a stage musical premiered at the Southwark Playhouse in 2017.

"You can save her..." "How?" "You need all four. One dies, she dies." Netflix has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for a thriller series titled Supacell, arriving for streaming this summer. It's the next creation by the Blue Story director who goes under the moniker "Rapman", an urban London story about people with super powers who have to join together. "Find them, before it's too late." When a regular group of ordinary people from South London are gifted with superpowers, they find their new abilities have made them targets for a powerful entity. The series stars Tosin Cole as Michael, Nadine Mills as Sabrina, Eric Kofi Abrefa as Andre, Calvin Demba as Rodney, Josh Tedeku as Tazer, Adelayo Adedayo as Dionne, Rayxia Ojo as Sharleen, and Giacomo Mancini as Spud. There's only a little bit of footage in this first teaser, but enough to make me intrigued. Looks pretty cool.

The timing is perfect for Michael and Dionne. They’ve got a home, a car, each other and their whole lives ahead of them. Until out of nowhere, Michael develops superpowers and is tasked with an urgent mission to save Dionne’s life.
Michael, played by former Doctor Who companion Ryan actor Tosin Cole, isn’t the only Black Londoner suddenly afflicted with super-abilities. Four other unrelated people have also had their lives turned upside down by glowy-eyed trips to the future, and it’s up to Michael to unite them to change the course of fate. Can he do it in time to save Dionne?
That’s the question set by the very first teaser for Netflix’s six-episode fantasy drama Supacell:
