Netflix's 'Supacell' Trailer Teases A New Breed Of Superpowers In South London

Netflix has dropped the trailer for its upcoming series Supacell, which is set to redefine the superhero genre.

The upcoming six-part series coming out of Netflix's UK department was written by Andrew Onwubolu also known as Rapman. He is also the lead director.

There isn't much published about the plot of the UK-centered series but we do have a synopsis.

"A group of ordinary people from South London unexpectedly develop super powers with no clear connection between them other than them all being Black. As they deal with the impact on their daily lives, one man has to bring them together to protect the one he loves — all while avoiding the powerful and nefarious agents that have noticed their special abilities."

Supacell stars Tosin Cole, BMF's Eric Kofi Abrefa, Nadine Mills, Calvin Demba, Josh Tedeku, Adelayo Adedayo, Rayxia Ojo, Giacomo Mancini and Eddie Marsan.

The latest series is part of Netflix's newest interest in the excitement of British television.

"Netflix U.K. is building on success — it’s hard to top the virtuosity and global impact of our existing, award-winning British series — from The Crown, Sex Education and After Life to Top Boy and Fate," says Anne Mensah, Netflix’s vice president of U.K. series.

Check out the trailer below.

Supacell hits Netflix in June.
