Mrs Davis S1

Mrs Davis is the world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence. Simone (Critics Choice Super Award winner and three-time Emmy nominee Betty Gilpin from Gaslit and Glow) is the nun devoted to destroying her.

The Peacock Original is at #18 on Rotten Tomatoes’ Best TV Shows of the Year (So Far), with an 89% critics’ rating and a critics’ consensus that says, “Positively bonkers while undergirded by an intelligent design, Mrs. Davis makes Betty Gilpin a hero for modern times in a highly imaginative mixture of spirituality and technology.”

Co-created by three-time Emmy winner Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, The Leftovers) and writer Tara Hernandez (The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon), Mrs. Davis also stars Jake McDorman (Limitless), Andy McQueen (Station Eleven, Outer Banks), triple-Emmy winner Margo Martindale (The Americans), Teen Choice winner David Arquette (Dewey Riley in the Scream movies), Tom Wlaschiha (Stranger Things, Game of Thrones), and Critics Choice Super Award nominee Elizabeth Marvel (Love & Death, The Dropout, Burn After Reading).

All episodes are now streaming.
