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.
