Description
Sveriges Television for SVT
Real Humans is the thrilling Nordic Noir primetime series set in a parallel present day world, where the artificial human has come into its own; a world of human-robots. In this world, the Human Robot (HUBOT) is just as commonplace a possession as a car – just as loved, hated and desired. The HUBOTs have changed human existence for good and it is almost impossible to imagine the world without them.
In Season 2 we see the boundaries between man and machine being further erased, while the conflict intensifies. A militant, but also politically well-organised group called the Real Humans Youth Association has been created with the ultimate goal of eradicating HUBOTs. A virus is also spreading like a pandemic, making infected HUBOTs uncontrollable and dangerous.
A crucial and complex legal case also arises in the new series which could lead to HUBOTs gaining equal human rights in the eyes of the law. HUBOTs have also now settled in better and are welcome members of families, but still struggle with their own identity. As an ever-growing number of people form relationships with them, the boundaries between human and machine become blurred.
