The world after us will see Julia Roberts play Amanda, and Ethan Hawke plays her husband. They both rent a house to spend a family vacation. But one night, two strangers (Mahershala Ali and Myha’la Herrold) knock on their door and announce thata cyber attack is about to hit the country. And turning on the television, the news confirms their words…

A very disturbing trailer

Netflix revealed the trailer (video in the article) and the least we can say is that the mystery remains before these images. “The truth is scarier“Mahershala Ali tells us, but like Julia Roberts, of course we wonder”What is the truth“? A series of disasters will then occur before Kevin Bacon ends this video with the disturbing phrase: “We have been abandoned“.

The trailer is very effective in making you want to know more. But Sam Esmail had already clarified Vanity Fair his desire to capture with this film Fear of the unknown that we can feel currently, with global warming and after the Covid pandemic.

Note this too Barack Obama and Michelle Obama produced the film. The former US president was thus able to provide the director with feedback on his scenario to explain how things might unfold in the event of a cyber attack.

The world after us will come out ON Netflix next December 8th.
