When Stephen Jameson starts hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, he believes he is going crazy. In desperation, he listens to one of the voices and is led to a group of genetically advanced teens known as the tomorrow people, who are being hunted down by Ultra, a paramilitary group of scientists headed by Dr. Jedikiah Price. Torn by an offer from Price -- having a normal life among people he belongs, but in exchange for helping rid the world of tomorrow people -- Stephen chooses the higher road despite its probable surprises.
The Tomorrow People — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A reboot of the 1970s cult series, The Tomorrow People suffers from a middling plot that feels cobbled together from better sci-fi dramas.

Aaron Riccio Slant Magazine Nov 11, 2013
1.5/4
The show feels trapped in the past, a slave to the conventions of the '70s British series on which it's based, and to a slew of modern genre clichs. Go to Full Review Rowan Kaiser AV Club Nov 1, 2013

The show can do cases of the week from multiple perspectives, and it has an inherent tension of the "inside man" that provides an overarching plot across the whole season. Go to Full Review Erik Adams AV Club Oct 14, 2013

Toms c @tomscove Jun 4, 2023 I was a big fan of the original, so my expectations were low but this is actually pretty good. See more steve d @RT35616104 Aug 1, 2020 The writing is a bit stiff but the cast is good and the story interesting. See more Dec 21, 2019 loved this show and the cast could of really been something, glad they got to make one season at least and had a decent ending clip!!!!!!! See more Aug 11, 2019 i liked this show, it's a shame that it got canceled. See more Sep 8, 2018 I love Robbie Amell, but this is garbage. Having him join the bad guys? Terrible idea. Trying to make us think he's only 15 or something (and those gawdawful terrible expressions on his face)? Horrible idea! I love you, Robbie. But this is shet. See more Jul 9, 2018 Interesting plot, decent effects,...there are FAR worse things out there that get renewed. My boys and I really enjoyed this show. See more Read all reviews
