While a premiere date is unconfirmed, the cast of the Utopia remake appears more or less complete. Characters inspired directly from the British original are:
- Sasha Lane (Jessica Hyde) - A mysterious woman on the run, with a ruthless attitude and many secrets. Dan Byrd (Ian) - An mundane office worker dragged into a deadly conspiracy. Ashleigh LaThrop (Becky) - A student with a strong interest in a strange graphic novel called “The Utopia Experiments.” Javon Walton (Grant) - An aggressive youngster who claims to have an unpublished Utopia sequel manuscript. Desmin Borges (Wilson Wilson) - An intelligent but reclusive geek with an eye for conspiracy theories. Rainn Wilson (Michael) - A meek government worker with fluid loyalties. Christopher Denham (Arby) - A deranged assassin. Farrah Mackenzie (Alice) - Grant’s friend, who inadvertently finds herself in danger.
Other confirmed cast members include John Cusack as Dr. Kevin Christie and Gotham’s Cory Michael Smith as Thomas Christie, likely of some relation. Jeanine Serralles has been cast as a character named Colleen, who could potentially be an updated version of MI5 agent Milner from the original series.
