| Quote: | Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy’s ‘The Peripheral’ Picked Up To Series By Amazon
The project that originally got Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy in business with Amazon Studios, The Peripheral, is now a go at the streamer.
Amazon Studios has greenlit the one-hour sci-fi thriller drama based on the bestselling novel by William Gibson, from creator/executive producer/showrunner Scott B. Smith (A Simple Plan) executive producers Nolan and Joy, their company Kilter Films and Warner Bros. Television where the Westworld creators/executive producers/showrunners were previously based.
The Peripheral had been in the works at Amazon since early 2018. In April 2019, Nolan and Joy signed a massive overall deal with Amazon Studios after lengthy stints at WBTV.
The Peripheral centers on Flynne Fisher, a woman trying to hold together the pieces of her broken family in a forgotten corner of tomorrow’s America. Flynne is smart, ambitious, and doomed. She has no future. Until the future comes calling for her. The Peripheral is master storyteller William Gibson’s dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.
“35 years ago, William Gibson invented the future. With The Peripheral he brings us another look, and his vision is as clear, intoxicating, and terrifying as ever,” Nolan and Joy said. “All of us at Kilter are incredibly proud to be supporting Vincenzo and Scott’s brilliant vision for bringing Gibson’s work to the screen.”
The Peripheral is produced by Amazon Studios and Warner Bros. Television, in association with Kilter Films. Executive producers are Smith, director Vincenzo Natali (In the Tall Grass), Nolan and Joy, Athena Wickham (Westworld), and Steven Hoban (In the Tall Grass).
“We’re thrilled to announce The Peripheral as our first project with Jonah, Lisa, Athena and their talented team at Kilter Films,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios.“This story calls for a masterful level of talent to bring acclaimed author William Gibson’s science fiction thriller to life. We are excited to partner with Warner Bros. Television, Oscar-nominated writer Scott B. Smith and Vincenzo Natali in bringing this fantastic new series to our global Prime Video customers.” |
Apparently, this is what triggered the five year deal with Amazon. Sounds interesting.

Not necessarily. They are showrunners and writers on a show that goes into production once every two years.

[quote]While their development will be exclusive to Amazon, Joy and Nolan are not leaving their praised HBO/WBTV drama Westworld, on which they are the main creative forces. They have inked a show deal to continue to write and executive produce the sci-fi Western for multiple additional seasons.[/quote[

Let's hope so.
End on a good note (hopefully) instead of having the opportunity to make more disappointing seasons to what was once one of the best shows ever.

Season 3 of Westworld seems like a completely different beast altogether, likely continuing some the hints from season 2 which were not the main focus then. I'm not sure why people hate s2 so much; sure it wasn't as good as the first season, but it was still a very strong season. For me, they lingered too much in the park with the Dolores character. Instead, they should have moved to this new sci-fi direction much sooner, with perhaps some flashes back to the Bernard/fidelity stuff, which looks like the backbone of season 3.
