AMC+has just released an official teaser trailer for their upcoming suspense thriller series,Moonhaven. Moonhaven will explore a society living on the moon that is a supposed utopia.

The show will premiere exclusively on AMC+.
The teaser opens with a very old-school-looking shot of a spaceship flying from outer space into the moon while an eerie anthem plays. The audience is then thrust into the world of Moonhaven, a utopia on the moon, which may not be entirely what it seems at first glance. The lead character, Bella Sway, questions what Moonhaven actually is, and whether darkness lingers there. The trailer ends with an ominous chant led by a young girl, as people behind her sway in the distance. This teaser almost gives offMidsommarin space vibes.
