"Supacell," a highly-anticipated British sci-fi series created and directed by Rapman (Andrew Onwubolu) is coming to Netflix June 27. It offers a fresh perspective on the superhero genre.
The six-episode first season follows five strangers - Michael Lasaki (Tosin Cole), Sabrina, Andre, Rodney, and Tazer - from South London who unexpectedly develop connected superpowers like telekinesis, super strength, super speed, pyrokinesis, and time travel.
Michael, who can time travel, learns that his love interest, Dionne (Adelayo Adedayo), will die in the future, prompting him to gather the others while evading powerful agents.
The series explores how these individuals utilize their abilities in ordinary life, taking inspiration from shows like "Heroes" and "Misfits."
It aims to offer a relatable story based in South London, showcasing a narrative that feels possible, blending familiar genre features with street-level drama.
