Marvel’s Inhumans explores the epic adventure of the Royal Family including Black Bolt (played by Anson Mount), King of the Inhumans, with a voice so powerful that the slightest whisper can destroy a city.

After the Royal Family of Inhumans is splintered by a military coup, they just manage to escape to Hawaii where they are greeted with surprising interactions with the humanity around them.

They now must find a way to reunite with each other and return home to Attilan before their way of life is destroyed forever.

The series stars Serinda Swan (Tron: Legacy) as Medusa, Queen of the Inhumans and wife of Black Bolt. She is a fiercely resilient warrior who has the ability to move and control her hair the way most people use their hands and fingers.

Iwan Rheon (Riviera, Game of Thrones) as Maximus, the clever and charming Inhuman that is fiercely devoted to the people of Attilan, although he harbors an intense desire to wear the crown himself.

Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon, who is the cousin of Black Bolt, with super strong legs complete with hooves. He can generate destructive seismic waves with a single stomp. Gorgon would rather fight than talk to solve his problems.

Director of Sky 1 and Sky Living Adam MacDonald said: “Sky 1 is the home for the biggest and best US blockbuster TV series and Marvel’s Inhumans will be an out-of-this-world addition to the line-up. The series is bold, exciting and entertaining and I can’t wait to see the adventures unfold."

Marvel’s Inhumans is part of Sky 1’s line up of bold new shows this year, including Jack Whitehall’s comedy thriller Bounty Hunters, Strikeback and Sick Note, staring Rupert Grint and Nick Frost.

Marvel's Inhumans will be available to watch on Sky 1 this autumn.
