Neuromancerfollows Case (Callum Turner), a hacker who gets roped into doing a dangerous and mysterious job for a man named Armitage and a “razorgirl,” or mercenary, named Molly. The story deals with everything from artificial intelligence to transhumanism, and it’s considered a pillar of cyberpunk as a subgenre for a good reason.
Now,Apple TV+has released ateaser forNeuromancerthat both confirms the show is currently in production and shows images of the Chatsubo Bar. The clip showed an image of an empty barroom lit by a neon “Chatsubo Bar” sign and confirmed that production was underway. The post also read “Welcome to the Chatsubo, Cowboy,” a reference to Case’s work as a hacker or “console cowboy.”

Our Take On Apple TV+’s Neuromancer & First Set Images
Neuromancer Already Looks Like It Has Potential To Be Another Great Sci-Fi Adaptation For Apple TV+
Though it is only a teaser and production announcement, this video already shows thatNeuromancerhas a lot of potential. The Chatsubo already indicates that the series has nailed the gloomy mood and neon lighting you’d expect out of cyberpunk. The Chat is also a central location inNeuromancer, so it’s a good sign that the show seems to have gotten it right.

I also feel thatNeuromanceris in good hands. Apple TV+ has a long history of doing sci-fi adaptations justice, fromSilotoFoundation.If any streaming service can handle source material as iconic asNeuromancer, it’s Apple TV+. It’s certainly too early to say for sure, butNeuromanceralready looks promising.
