Thorne (‘Degrassi: The Next Generation’, ‘Degrassi: Next Class’… oh, so Drake WILL cause the end of society in this). Showcasing a variety of musical genres and dance styles (Hip Hop, Pop, Latin, House, Classical, Indigenous, among others), and featuring themes of afrofuturism, youth activism, and eco-awareness, Utopia Falls is the first ever performance-based sci-fi series for culturally diverse and socially and politically minded young audiences. When they stumble upon a hidden archive of cultural relics, they are forced to question everything they have been taught, ultimately using the power of music to ignite change and expose the truth.

I honestly don’t know who this show is for. It’s like a cross between ‘Divergent’, ‘Equilibrium’, ‘The Giver’, ‘Footloose’, and ‘Centerstage’. Is this Utopian society going to be destroyed by a Drake video? (The answer, apparently, is yes, as it is called ‘Utopia Falls‘.) Except this is about dancing and hip hop music. Now they want to know why.īut when they attempt to incorporate these ancient artforms into their Exemplar performances, one adult demands “What is the meaning of these acts of defiance?” while one of the teens stresses, “They don’t want you to know the truth… but it’s too late to stop us.” It all seems very high-stakes. The teens soon discover that this trove contains more than just music, but art, literature and other artifacts from the past, but it has all been hidden away. Specifically, they are greeted by a Busta Rhymes music video, “Gimme Some Mo,” and the kids marvel at just how fast he raps. They discover a lost artform which they have never seen or heard before - hip hop. Young people are trained to perform to honor Gaia, the founder of this society, in an annual competition called the Exemplar.īut then, some of the teens receive mysterious invitations to a lost archive curated by the voice of Snoop Dogg. The series is set 300 years in the future, in New Babyl, the last living colony on Earth. Hulu has released the first trailer and poster for the upcoming dystopian series ‘Utopia Falls’ and… well, I’ve never seen anything like it.
