They Cut the Sun in Half - The Gloom | Steampunk Sci-Fi Series

The Crown lives above the clouds and owns the sun. The Gloom lives below and has never seen it. Today, the Crown cut their light in half. In THE GLOOM — Episode 1, a young Crown engineer discovers that the city beneath the clouds has forty days before its fungal farms die in the dark. Nobody above will listen. So he does what no one from the Crown has ever done: he climbs down. Below, he finds a canyon city of hanging trains and lantern-lit markets, a rising uprising, and a woman named Iris who catches the last fragments of daylight with a broken machine. Her eyes have adapted to the dark. His have not. But his descent was not the secret he thought it was. Someone above wanted him below — and the army that follows him down is only the beginning. A cinematic steampunk dystopia set in a far-future London, where sunlight is piped like water, the dead are recycled for their parts, and the machines that police the lower city carry human faces. Part 1 of an ongoing series. What do you think the Crown is hiding? Tell me your theory in the comments. 🎧 Best experienced with headphones. Watch in 4K.
