Cast

Main

Introduced in series 1

  • Emily Berrington [4] as Niska Elster, a conscious synth built by David Elster to be Leo's sister, assigned to work as a prostitute when they were separated. She is violent and resentful of humans and wishes to live her own life, but later starts to care about humans.
  • Ruth Bradley [5] as Karen Voss, a detective inspector and the partner of Detective Sergeant Pete Drummond. Those around her have not discovered that she is a conscious synth and was created by David Elster to replace his deceased wife, Beatrice.
  • Lucy Carless [5] as Mattie Hawkins, Laura and Joe's teenage daughter, who is upset that her family is falling apart and angry at the emerging role of synths in society. Despite her own intelligence, she feels useless, claiming that synths will soon be able to do anything she can do. She is skilled in computer programming and hacking.
  • Gemma Chan [4] as Anita Hawkins / Mia Elster, a servile synth belonging to the Hawkins family. She was sold as new, but is actually Mia, a conscious synth built by David Elster to be Leo's babysitter, kidnapped and hacked with new software.
  • Pixie Davies as Sophie Hawkins, Laura and Joe's younger daughter. She names the new family synth Anita after a friend of hers who has moved away, and develops a strong affection for the synth.
  • Jack Derges [5] as Simon (series 1), Jill Drummond's attractive synth caregiver and physiotherapist. Pete is dissatisfied with Simon, thinking that he is his replacement.
  • Sope Dirisu [6] as Fred Elster (series 1), a conscious synth built by David Elster to be a brother to Leo. Professor Hobb likens Fred to the Mona Lisa in terms of the complexity of his design.
  • Rebecca Front [4] as Vera (series 1), a medical synth from the NHS who is supposed to replace Odi as George Millican's caregiver. Millican is frustrated with her relentlessly officious and domineering manner, and generally refuses her help.

  • Ivanno Jeremiah [6] as Max Elster, Leo Elster's conscious synth confidant, built by David Elster to be a brother to Leo.

  • Colin Morgan [4] as Leo Elster, son of David Elster, a part-synth fugitive believed by the rest of the world to have died in a car accident; he was in a fatal accident as a child and his father developed synth components to cope with the damage to his brain.
  • Katherine Parkinson [4] as Laura Hawkins, a lawyer and mother of three who feels uncomfortable around synths. She had concerns about Anita and sought to find out more about her.
  • Theo Stevenson [7] as Toby Hawkins, Laura and Joe's teenage son, who is attracted to, and becomes protective of, Anita.
  • Will Tudor [4] as Odi (series 1–2), George Millican's malfunctioning synth caregiver. He is prone to system glitches, though Millican is unwilling to recycle him or return him to the NHS.

Production

Development

The series was announced in April 2014 as part of a partnership between Channel 4 and Xbox Entertainment Studios. [16] However, after Microsoft closed Xbox Entertainment Studios, AMC came aboard as partners to Channel 4. [17] Filming commenced in the autumn of 2014, with the series premiering on 14 June 2015. [17] The series' budget was £12 million. [18]

The commissioning of a second, eight-episode series to air in 2016 was announced 31 July 2015. [19] Gemma Chan had previously said, in an interview with Den of Geek, that the first series is "not completely tied up at the end" and "there are definitely still areas to be explored for a second series." [20] Similarly, C4's Head of International Drama, Simon Maxwell, told Broadcast's Talking TV podcast that: "We've got a story that is told over a great many episodes and is very much designed to come back and return. We'll be following those characters on a really epic journey." [21] Filming of the second series began on 11 April 2016, with a premiere date of 30 October 2016. [22] [23]

A third series was commissioned in March 2017 and premiered in the UK on 17 May 2018, [24] [25] and in the United States on 5 June 2018. [26] By August 2018, discussions were ongoing about a possible fourth series. [27] Channel 4 announced in May 2019 that there would not be a fourth series. [28]

Filming

During rehearsals, Gemma Chan and her fellow robot actors were sent to a "synth school" run by the show's choreographer, Dan O'Neill, in a bid to rid themselves of any human physical gestures and become convincing synths. "It was about stripping back any physical tics you naturally incorporate into performance", explains Chan, who adds that it was a "relief to go home and slouch" after a day on set. [29]

Katherine Parkinson began filming six weeks after giving birth to her second child; her part in the series was filmed on 10 separate days, between 10 days' rest. [30]

A number of scenes for the second series were filmed in Thanet, Kent. The production team used Botany Bay and West Bay as filming locations, while shots of the farm and fields overlooking the factory were filmed in Dagnall. The scenes were predominantly centred on Anita at work. [31]

Broadcast and release

The first episode of the series was broadcast in the UK on Channel 4 on 14 June 2015 and premiered in the United States and Canada on AMC on 28 June 2015. [32] It started airing in Australia on ABC2, on 3 August 2015. [33] It was shown on TV3 in New Zealand from 11 August 2015. [34]

The second series premiered in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2016, [23] in Australia the day after [35] and premiered in the United States on 13 February 2017. [36]

Marketing

For one week in May 2015, the series was marketed using a fake shopfront for Persona Synthetics on London's Regent Street, inviting passers-by to create their own synth using interactive screens, [37] [38] and employing actors who pretended to be synths around central London. [39] An accompanying Channel 4 trailer for the series in the style of an advertisement for Persona featured "Sally", a robotic servant described as "your new best friend". In addition, website banner advertisements appeared on the eBay UK website leading to an eBay "buy it now" listing for a Persona Synthetics Robot. [39]

Home media

Channel 4 DVD released the first series on DVD in the UK on 17 August 2015. [40] Spirit Entertainment released the second series on DVD in the UK on 16 January 2017. [41] Spirit Entertainment released the third series on DVD in the UK on 29 January 2019. [42]

In Region 1, Acorn Media has released the first two seasons on DVD and Blu-ray. Humans – Season 1: Uncut UK Edition was released on 29 March 2016. [43] Humans – Season 2: Uncut UK Edition was released on 31 October 2017. [44] As of 2023, the first through third seasons are available in Region 1 for purchase on Apple TV.

Reception

The first season of Humans received positive reviews from critics. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gave the season an 89% based on 62 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The site's critical consensus reading: "Humans is a mature, high-octane thriller offering emotional intrigue and thought-provoking suspense that should prove irresistible to sci-fi fans while remaining accessible enough to lure in genre agnostics." [45] Metacritic gave the season a rating of 76 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [46]

The second season received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a score of 94%, based on 17 reviews, with an average rating of 7.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Humans continues to quietly distinguish itself in the sci-fi drama category – and prove better than most of its flashier AI competition." [47] On Metacritic, the season has a rating of 82 out of 100, based on 8 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [48]

The third season received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a score of 100%, based on 13 reviews, with an average rating of 6.0/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Humans gains new sociopolitical dimensions in its third season, mining deeper insight from its sci-fi premise without diluting the potency of its well-drawn characters." [49]

The show is Channel 4's highest rated drama since the 1992 programme The Camomile Lawn . [18] It has been described as having "universal appeal" and as being "one of 2015's dramatic hits". [50] The show has been described as "a bit dystopian and Black Mirror -esque". [51] A review in the Telegraph praised the show's performances but said that the story is "conceptually ... old hat" and "wasn't breaking any new ground philosophically". [52]

In December 2015, Humans was voted Digital Spy's "Top Show of 2015", described as managing "to stand out as something totally different in a TV landscape awash with cop shows and crime thrillers ... And its fearlessness, its creativity and its quality all deserve to be recognised." [53]
