In a world where teasers and trailers reveal so much about new shows and movies that you don’t even need to watch them to know what they’re about, the team behind the new Peacock series Mrs. Davis are taking the exact opposite approach. They’re hoping that keeping the main plot points close to the vest will help build anticipation for the science fiction drama. And it’s working.
Not surprisingly, Mrs. Davis hails from executive producers and co-writers Tara Rodriguez and Lost creator Damon Lindelof, so if you’re getting Lost vibes then you’re in the right place.
Here’s what we know about Mrs. Davis.
