Marvel’s Inhumans descends on Sky 1 this autumn

Get ready for some spectacular action as Marvel’s Inhumans arrives on Sky 1 – the only place to watch the brand new series in the UK & Ireland this autumn.

Marvel’s Inhumans explores the never-before-told epic adventure of the Royal Family including Black Bolt, the enigmatic, commanding King of the Inhumans, with a voice so powerful that the slightest whisper can destroy a city. After the Royal Family of Inhumans is splintered by a military coup, they just manage to escape to Hawaii where they are greeted with surprising interactions with the lush world and humanity around them. Now they must find a way to reunite with each other and return home to Attilan before their way of life is destroyed forever.

The series stars Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels), Iwan Rheon (Riviera, Game of Thrones) and Serinda Swan (Ballers, Graceland) and will join Modern Family, The Simpsons and The Blacklist on Sky 1, the only place to watch the most popular shows from the US.

Director of Sky 1 and Sky Living Adam MacDonald said: “Sky 1 is the home for the biggest and best US blockbuster TV series and Marvel’s The Inhumans will be an out-of-this-world addition to the line-up. The series is bold, exciting and entertaining and I can’t wait to see the adventures unfold on Sky 1 this autumn."

Dayna Donaldson, General Manager, Media Distribution, Disney UK & Ireland: "Marvel storytelling is on a cinematic scale - and Inhumans' production values certainly live up to this. The series has created buzz from right back at its inception, and we're excited to be working with Sky 1 to launch Marvel's Inhumans to its viewers, following its preview on IMAX, a world first in television."

Marvel’s Inhumans is executive produced by Scott Buck (Dexter, Marvel’s Iron Fist) along with Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s Daredevil, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Marvel’s Luke Cage) and Jim Chory (Marvel’s Daredevil, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Marvel’s Luke Cage) with Buck serving as showrunner. Roel Reinè (The Delivery, Black Sails) directed the first two episodes. This series is a Marvel and IMAX project and is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Studios.

The acquisition of Marvel’s Inhumans for Sky 1 was negotiated by Lucy Criddle Sky’s Head of Acquisitions and distributor Disney UK & Ireland.

Marvel’s Inhumans is part of Sky 1’s line up of bold new shows this autumn, including Sky Original Productions such as Jack Whitehall’s comedy thriller Bounty Hunters, a brand new series of action-drama Strikeback, and comedy Sick Note, staring Rupert Grint and Nick Frost.

Full details on cast and characters are:

Anson Mount as Black Bolt– The enigmatic, commanding King of the Inhumans, with a voice so powerful that the slightest whisper can destroy a city

Serinda Swan as Medusa – Queen of the Inhumans and wife of Black Bolt — his most trusted advisor, a fiercely resilient warrior who has the ability to move and control her hair the way most people use their hands and fingers.

Iwan Rheon as Maximus –the clever and charming Inhuman that is fiercely devoted to the people of Attilan, especially his brother, the King – although he harbors an intense desire to wear the crown himself.

Ellen Woglom as Louise – A smart, intense, and focused woman. Her job at a private aerospace company is her life, second only to her passion for all things space and lunar.
