This week at SDCC, Apple finally released some more information for the forthcoming adaptation of William Gibson’s seminal cyberpunk novel Neuromancer, and have sent the internet ablaze with the release of the first proper trailer. And it looks GOOD.

From Apple –

““Neuromancer” follows a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case (Turner) who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high-stakes crime with his partner Molly (Middleton), a razor-girl assassin, as they pull off a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets. The ensemble cast also includes Max Irons, Dane DeHaan, Junia Rees, Jordan Kouamé, Emma Laird, Marc Menchaca, André De Shields and Isabella Pappas.”

Whilst Gibson’s novel didn’t introduce the word Cyberpunk, he is definitely considered one of its founding fathers. A Neuromancer adaptation has been a long time coming. Director Vincenzo Natali was very close, his project spending a number of years in development. He even had author Gibson’s approval and a budget, but sadly, the project was ultimately abandoned.

Apple has shown in the past with their sci-fi series a willingness to spend serious money. As their Silo adaptation shows, returning today with season 3, they are capable of taking acclaimed novels, and putting out a high quality show. Based on the trailer, we’re optimistic they have done the same here for Neuromancer – as fans of the book, the locations in the trailer look ‘familiar’, which is a great sign.

Apple TV’s Neuromancer is co-created by Graham Roland, who serves as showrunner, and JD Dillard, who is directing the pilot. It stars, amongst others, Callum Turner, Briana Middleton, Dane DeHaan, Mark Strong, and Peter Sarsgaard. Neuromancer will be released on January 22, 2027, on Apple TV, and will be a 10 episode series. You can watch the trailer below.
