Humans (2021 TV series)

Humans is a Swedish science fiction drama television series that premiered in 2021 on SVT (Sveriges Television). It is a reboot of the critically acclaimed British television series Humans (2015-2018), which itself was based on the Swedish science fiction drama Real Humans (Swedish: Äkta Människor), created by Lars Lundström.

The 2021 series, like its predecessors, explores the social, ethical, and philosophical implications of highly advanced and human-like androids, referred to as "Hubots" (short for "Human Robot"). The storyline typically focuses on the integration of these Hubots into society and the complex relationships that develop between humans and Hubots, including issues of artificial intelligence, consciousness, labor, prejudice, and sexuality. While sharing a common thematic core with the original Real Humans and the British Humans, the 2021 series offers a fresh perspective on these themes within a contemporary context. Specific plot details, character names, and the overall narrative structure distinguish it from previous iterations.
