Written by British writing partners Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley (Spooks: The Greater Good), the sci-fi series explores the blurring lines between humans and machines.

About Humans: Set in a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a 'synth' -a highly developed robotic servant eerily similar in appearance to humans. Husband and father Joe Hawkins, played by Tom Goodman-Hill (Mr. Selfridge) hopes synth Anita, played by Gemma Chan (Sherlock) will repair his fractured marriage with Laura, played by Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd). But what if a few rouge synths - including Anita - are able to feel pain, process emotion, and even think independently? Calling into question what it means to be human, audiences will learn if technology will finally surpass its creators. The show also stars William Hurt (A History Of Violence) Dr. George Millican, Colin Morgan (Merlin) as Leo, Emily Berrington (24: Live Another Day) as Niska, Ivanno Jeremiah (The Veteran) as Max, Sope Dirisu (The Mill) as Fred, Neil Maskell (Utopia) as D.S. Peter Drummond, and Danny Webb (Alien³) as Hobb.
