Summary
NBC's Peacock streaming service marked this week's "soft launch" with a short teaser trailer for one of its original programs: Brave New World, an adaptation of the ultimate dystopian science fiction novel by Aldous Huxley. (The novel's title references a line by Miranda in The Tempest.) When John and his mother, Linda, find their way back to the World State, he initially becomes a cause célèbre, but struggles to adapt to the new social mores.Specifically, he falls in love with a young woman named Lenina Crowne, but can't deal with her promiscuity and sexual forwardness. He ultimately isolates himself from society in hopes of purging himself of "sin." Things don't end well for John, and they don't end particularly well for Lenina, either, although the novel never explicitly reveals her fate.There have been prior TV film adaptations of Brave New World, in 1980 and 1998, respectively, as well as numerous radio broadcasts and a 2015 theater production.
