Plot Synopsis

Based on a series of short stories by Ken Liu, PANTHEON is an animated sci-fi drama series that centers on a bullied teen, Maddie, who receives mysterious help from someone online: a stranger soon revealed to be her recently deceased father, David, whose consciousness has been uploaded to the Cloud following an experimental destructive brain scan. David is the first of a new kind of being -- an "Uploaded Intelligence" or "UI" -- but he will not be the last, as a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war. The series explores the outer limits of what we and our technology are capable of creating and destroying, focusing on the "uploading" of human consciousness into the cloud. It explores the theme of technology through the lens of family, focusing on both the people whose brains have been digitally uploaded, and the loved ones they've left behind. PANTHEON debuted on Thursday, September 1, 2022, as AMC+ and HIDIVE released two episodes.
