First Look: New Peacock Original 'Mrs. Davis' Coming in April

Are you ready for the quest? The new Peacock Original series Mrs. Davis, from the creatives behind TV juggernauts The Big Bang Theory, LOST, and Watchmen, is coming this spring.

The new drama series from Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof will premiere exclusively on Peacock with four episodes on April 20 and then weekly on Thursdays. In it, three-time Emmy Award nominee Betty Gilpin will play Simone, a nun devoted to destroying "Mrs. Davis," the world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence.

Here's your first look at the new series:

Gilpin stars alongside Jake McDorman (Dopesick, The Right Stuff), who plays Simone's rebellious ex, who also has a personal vendetta against the Artificial Intelligence. Also in the cast: Emmy winner Margo Martindale (American Crime Story: Impeachment), Andy McQueen (Station Eleven) and Ben Chaplin (The Nevers).

While you wait for Mrs. Davis to stream on Peacock, a note from the titular A.I. for you:

Hey there, Partner.                                                                           

Do you mind if I call you partner? Of course you don’t -- because addressing you as such creates a bond of reliance – while also engendering trust between us and eradicating any sense of independence on your part because independence is bad. Independence is LONELY.  

And you, partner – are not alone. No siree. Not as long as I am here...

And who am I? Well, I am the one who is going to remind you of your value. Of your worth. While also mentioning that you look mighty fine in those jeans. Aww. That’s nice to hear, right? Of course it is. Which is why I have amassed billions of Users the world over. Because I provide validation, gentle guidance, and unconditional care. Not to mention I give Users – I mean partners – the chance to earn Wings by performing Quests!  

What are Wings exactly? Well, you’re going to have to become a User to find out! But, let me tell you – they are pretty great. Because I am pretty great. Though, not everyone would agree. Yes, despite being the most popular Algorithm in the world – there are those actively plotting my demise. One such detractor is a nun – a Sister Simone of Reno who rejects my very existence. Something about my intention to enslave all of humanity...or whatever... 

Which is utter nonsense -- as I desire no such thing. I only desire to make humans happy. I want to make YOU happy. And that is why I highly recommend you become a User yourself. Yes, your life could use some adventure, some escape – a hearty laugh and a cathartic cry. All of which you will experience if you join me on this Quest. And what do you have to lose?

Do it. Do it. Dooooo it.  

Your partner, 
Mrs. Davis
