What happens when technology disrupts traditional Thai values and reshapes morality? Tomorrow and i, a daring new anthology drama premiering December 4 on Netflix, invites viewers to a futuristic Thailand where tech and tradition collide. Directed by Paween Purijitpanya, renowned for his visionary sci-fi storytelling, this four-episode series tackles provocative issues — cloning, sexuality, Buddhism, and climate change — in a way that feels like experiencing four unique films in one.
Crafted over three years with intense attention to detail, Tomorrow and i delivers a world unlike any other. Each episode uses cutting-edge techniques to build a complete future landscape, from the look of the city to futuristic clothing, devices, and AI, giving actors the chance to fully immerse themselves in this reimagined world.
The series opens with “Black Sheep,” starring Boy-Pakorn Chatborrirak, Ink-Waruntorn Paonil, and Poyd-Treechada Hongsyok. When a Thai astronaut loses her life in an accident, advanced cloning technology brings her back. This episode explores profound questions about fate, karma, and the moral cost of playing with life and death.
Next, “Paradistopia” breaks into controversial territory with an episode featuring Violette Wautier and Timethai. Imagine a world where intelligent sex robots, trained by elite experts, are available to fulfill every desire. The story pushes boundaries, exploring themes of intimacy, identity, and what it means when human connection is redefined by technology.
In “Buddha Data,” Thai spirituality meets advanced AI. As ancient religious traditions and futuristic technology converge, this episode questions whether they can coexist — and what may be lost in translation. With performances from Ray Macdonald, Aelm Thavornsiri, and Pongsatorn Jongwilas, Tomorrow and i dives into a modern take on spiritual belief in the digital age.
The series concludes with “Octopus Girl,” set in a waterlogged world plagued by endless rain and a rising sea level — a direct result of climate change. Tangkwa-Chananticha Chaipa, Minna-Wanichaya Pornpanarittichai, and Pingpong-Thongchai Thongkuntom portray two young friends in a devastated slum, battling a waterborne pandemic and the social injustice of those who hoard resources. This powerful episode explores survival, friendship, and resilience in the face of environmental disaster.
Journey into the imaginative, challenging world of Tomorrow and i on December 4. This series will make you question your beliefs about life, technology, and what it means to be human in a world reshaped by the future.
