Set 50 years in the future, gen:LOCK tells the story of a dystopian future, where oppressive authoritarian forces are threatening to conquer the world. The resistance forces looking to stop them find a new recruit in the form of Julian Chase (Michael B. Jordan), who joins team gen:LOCK and becomes a pilot for a new form of weaponized mechs. The second season for the series will premiere on HBO Max this fall before moving to Rooster Teeth’s FIRST subscription streaming service.
