Utopia is written by Gone Girl and Sharp Objects writer Gillian Flynn. "I’m a huge fan of all those conspiracy thrillers that came out after Watergate. All of [the British Utopia] plays very sleekly. I wanted mine to play bumpy, dirty, raw, real — like you’re walking on the gum on the sidewalk and smelling the garbage in the alley," Flynn has said.

Utopia premieres on September 25 on Amazon Prime Video.
