AMC Plus’ first traditionally animated series, Pantheon, considers what might happen if the human mind could be uploaded into the cloud.

The speculative drama starts with the story of a bullied teenage girl, Maddie (Katie Chang), who receives help from someone online. Before long, she learns that the help is the consciousness of her recently deceased father, David (Daniel Dae Kim). His mind has been uploaded to the cloud following an experimental, and ultimately destructive, brain scan. David’s consciousness was the first to be uploaded but more and more are following, and the global conspiracy surrounding this new technology threatens to trigger a new kind of world war.
