A new science-fiction thriller titled ‘Moonhaven’ is all set to premiere on AMC+ soon. The series has been created by Peter Ocko, who is well-known for series like 'Lodge 49', 'Black Sails', and 'Elementary'.

The sci-fi show is set in the lunar colony called Moonhaven, nearly 100 years into the future. It is a paradise created beyond our planet, with mysteries hidden underneath it. The colony is the last hope of humanity, which is tearing apart, while the residents of Moonhaven try to find a solution to save the rest of the civilization.

The first two episodes of ‘Moonhaven’ will premiere on July 7, 2022, on AMC+ and the rest would be released weekly. Although the time has not been revealed, it should release at 9 pm ET.

What is the plot of ‘Moonhaven’?

The official synopsis of AMC+ reads, "Earth pilot Bella Sway, a skeptic in Paradise, gets trapped in controversy to have control over Moonhaven, a utopian colony. The plot focuses on Sway’s effort to stop the forces that want to destroy Earth’s chance to survive. She teams up with a local detective in the moon colony to achieve her goals."
