- The Verge's first Netflix show is finally here.
We have been working on the show for almost three years now,
and I cannot wait for you all to see it.
It's called "The Future Of,"
and it's about the future of everything;
gaming, dogs, cheeseburgers, life after death.
We took all the parts of our lives and did our best
to figure out what they'd be like in our lifetimes,
the near future, and then the wildest futures we think of.
And we did it all by actually going out
and finding the people working on this stuff.
Think of it like a documentary for the future.
"The Future Of" will premiere on Netflix
in two batches of six episodes.
Some of the ideas in the show are exciting.
Some of them are weird.
Sometimes they're even a little bit scary.
But the important thing is that none of them are guaranteed.
We have the ability to shape how the future unfolds.
And so more than anything, we wanted to make a show
that made people feel like an exciting,
and hopeful future is possible if we put our minds to it.
So, here's the trailer for "The Future Of."
I hope you all watch the show when it drops on Netflix
on June 21st and June 28th.
