What happens in the Furi teaser trailer?
The video offers a first look at Furi’s main cast led by Barty Shepherd (Next Big Thing, Sinners Haven) as The Rider. Shepherd has experience performing martial arts at the London Royal Opera House, and the trailer highlights some of his action sequences. The ensemble cast also includes Yanick Ghanty as The Voice, James Unsworth as The Chain and The Hand, Julian London as The Line, Olivia Jannesson as The Song, Ermar Alexander as The Line, Fabio Miale as The Edge, Tamaira Hesson as The Beat, and Charlie Griffiths as The Star.
In addition to leading the cast, Shepherd is also serving as the writer and showrunner for the Furi adaptation, which is being described as a mind-bending, pulse-pounding adventure. To remain faithful to its source material, the series was developed in close collaboration with the original game creators, The Game Bakers. It hails from Midnight Embers Productions, with Lucy Miles set as its producer. The miniseries’ soundtrack will feature game cult favorites such as Carpenter Brut, Danger, and The Toxic Avengers.
“Enter Furi and meet The Rider, a lone warrior, who, after years of incarceration in an otherworldly, mystical prison, has been freed by a mysterious figure known as The Voice. He must now battle his way through surreal worlds and brutal environments – each ruled by a powerful Guardian hiding deeper truths. Our protagonist confronts each of his formidable captors as he faces the ultimate mission: to save his species from extinction,” reads the synopsis. “Through the series, we’re introduced to more brave warriors, all with their own demons, in a universe where everyone is fighting for their own version of justice, and the line between hero and villain is blurred. The warriors are driven by purpose: freedom, redemption, pride, power, love. Each believes their battle is a duty, but who defines what’s right and wrong?”
