Have you ever had the wildest imagination about seeing your beloved characters embark on a musical performance during an apocalypse? Say no more! Hulu has just the right show for you.

With 'Utopia Falls', the network is presenting the first-ever sci-fi hip-hop television series. It deals with a couple of teens in a distant future who unravel an ancient mystery, which makes them question everything they have believed in, using the power of music.

Release date

All 10 episodes of 'Utopia Falls' will be available to watch on Hulu on February 14.

Plot

Set in a distant future, 24 teenagers are picked to compete in an annual musical competition in the last living colony called New Babyl. While for others the journey to unravel mystery serves as a chance to write their names in history, this becomes a life-changer for Aliyah when she stumbles upon hip-hop, an ancient form of music culture.

'Utopia Falls' channels the spirit of contemporary music through the participation of the candidates in The Exemplar.
