FX’s Devs: A Screening and Conversation

Alex Garland and Nick Offerman in Conversation with Austin Considine
FX’s Devs

Join Academy Award® nominated writer/director Alex Garland, along with star Nick Offerman, for a screening and thought-provoking discussion delving into Devs, their new sci-fi, tech thriller.

The series follows a young software engineer, played by breakout star Sonoya Mizuno, as she digs into the secretive development division of a mysterious Silicon Valley company and its CEO, meticulously portrayed by Offerman in a role unlike anything you’ve ever seen from him. If you’re a fan of Garland’s visionary films Ex Machina and Annihilation, you won’t want to miss Offerman and Garland discussing the first-ever FX on Hulu exclusive series, the eerie secrecy of Silicon Valley, and the limitless power of unchecked tech companies, plus much more.
