Steven Spielberg’s new mystery thriller brings Halle Berry to M-Net Wednesday nights

We can’t tell much about M-Net’s newly acquired TV series, Extant. But what we know is that Halle Berry is in it and that Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin, produced it. We also know the show leans heavy in science fiction elements. Outside of that, Extant is a mystery. Good news: it’s really cool. Bad news: it pretty much clears up none of the mystery, and only adds to it.

We may not get much in terms of story or what exactly is going on, but you can tell this show will be high quality. In this mystery thriller, Berry plays the role of a female astronaut who is trying to reconnect with her family when she returns after a year in outer space. Her experiences in space lead to events that will ultimately change the course of human history.

In this case, knowing Halle Berry is in it, and that Steven Spielberg helped create it is pretty much enough. Also, a key element to the show is that Berry will be the Mother to an android. That, in itself, sounds awesome.

The more you watch Extant the more you like Extant! You will love the questions about the pregnancy, who’s behind the sightings, and the future of her husband’s career.

Need more answers? Then watch Extant as it starts Wednesday, 23 July at 10:30pm WAT on M-Net (DStv channel 101).
