  • - The Verge's first Netflix show is finally here.

  • We have been working on the show for almost three years now,

  • and I cannot wait for you all to see it.

  • It's called "The Future Of,"

  • and it's about the future of everything;

  • gaming, dogs, cheeseburgers, life after death.

  • We took all the parts of our lives and did our best

  • to figure out what they'd be like in our lifetimes,

  • the near future, and then the wildest futures we think of.

  • And we did it all by actually going out

  • and finding the people working on this stuff.

  • Think of it like a documentary for the future.

  • "The Future Of" will premiere on Netflix

  • in two batches of six episodes.

  • Some of the ideas in the show are exciting.

  • Some of them are weird.

  • Sometimes they're even a little bit scary.

  • But the important thing is that none of them are guaranteed.

  • We have the ability to shape how the future unfolds.

  • And so more than anything, we wanted to make a show

  • that made people feel like an exciting,

  • and hopeful future is possible if we put our minds to it.

  • So, here's the trailer for "The Future Of."

  • I hope you all watch the show when it drops on Netflix

  • on June 21st and June 28th.

  • - Yes, we can totally change the world, we can do this,

  • and it's gonna be amazing.

  • - With this app,

  • we would know what a dog is trying to tell us.

  • - Rent your own face pod.

  • What if your data was stored in your house plant?

  • - As a concept, it's absolutely crazy.

  • The thing is, it's possible.

  • - Do we wanna live forever? That's one of the big questions.

  • Oh oh♪ - You can choose

  • whatever reality you wanna live in.
