Airdate: Mrs. Davis

US drama series Mrs. Davis, starring Betty Gilpin (GLOW, The Hunt) will premiere in April.

Executive produced by Tara Hernandez (Young Sheldon, The Big Bang Theory) and Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, The Leftovers, Lost), the series is an exploration of faith versus technology, with a dark satirical edge and focussing on a world where almost all decisions are made via algorithm.

Gilpin plays Simone, a nun who goes to battle against an all-powerful Artificial Intelligence known as “Mrs. Davis.” She will star alongside Jake McDorman (Dopesick, The Right Stuff), who plays Gilpin’s rebellious ex, who also has a personal vendetta against the Algorithm.

The cast also includes David Arquette, Elizabeth Marvel, Andy McQueen, Ben Chaplin, Margo Martindale, Katja Herbers, Chris Diamantopoulo, Ashley Romans, Tom Wlaschiha and Mathilde Ollivier.

In addition to co-writing and executive producing Mrs. Davis with Lindelof, Hernandez serves as showrunner. Eugene Kelly also executive produces. Owen Harris will direct and executive produce multiple episodes, including the first. Alethea Jones will also direct multiple episodes. The series is produced by Warner Bros Television.
