The plot follows a family that moves into the oldest smart house in Germany, a place uninhabited for more than five decades after a mysterious tragedy. Upon settling in, they activate Cassandra, the artificial intelligence that controls the home. But what initially seems like a fascinating coexistence with technology soon turns into an unsettling experience when Cassandra exhibits unexpected behaviors. Determined to integrate into the family, the AI manipulates its environment and its residents, revealing more dangerous and complex intentions than they could imagine.

Technology Dominates Everything

Under the direction of the German Benjamin Gutsche, Cassandra features a prominent cast from the country including Mina Tander, Joshua Kantara, Franz Hartwig, and Michael Klammer, while the voice of the AI is performed by Lavinia Wilson. The series will consist of six episodes that promise a perfect narrative for a marathon.

The thriller addresses current themes such as the dependence on technology, the limits of artificial intelligence, and the possible consequences of its integration into daily life. So, beyond being just a science fiction story, Cassandra raises profound questions about technological ethics and human emotions in an increasingly digitized world. With its world premiere scheduled for February 6, 2025, this production is positioned as one of the platform’s most ambitious offerings for the year.
