Netflix has released a trailer for its upcoming sci-fi series Cassandra, which comes from Germany. The story centers on Artificial Intelligence helpers who end up glitching and go haywire.
“Cassandra sees all, Cassandra hears all, Cassandra is everywhere.” The synopsis reads: “The tech smart home system and its electronic home assistant—played by Lavinia Wilson —have been shut down since the 1970s.
“When Samira (Mina Tander) and her family move into the empty house, they’re unaware that the reactivated system is no harmless household helper.
“Cassandra has very specific ideas about how things should run, and she won’t tolerate any slip-ups. She combines an antiquated worldview with dark intentions…
“Cassandra, determined never to be abandoned again, manipulates events using the home’s resources to become part of the family.”
This looks like a well-made series with a very dark and creepy vibe.
The series also stars Michael Klammer, Franz Hartwig, Mary Tölle, Joshua Kantara, Elias Grünthal, and Filip Schnack.
Cassandra was written and directed by Benjamin Gutsche, and it will premiere on Netflix on February 6th, 2025.
