PATMOS

PATMOS
By Tom Schaefer

GENRE: Sci-fi, Mystery
LOGLINE:

When an exiled religious prophet discovers an ancient AI device on Patmos, his psychedelic-fueled visions of apocalypse transform into portals through time, forcing him to confront humanity's possible futures while his infamous prophecies take on new meaning in the modern world.

SYNOPSIS:

PATMOS is a high-concept sci-fi drama series that reimagines the origin of the Book of Revelation through a genre-bending lens of ancient mysticism and futuristic technology. Set in 95 CE with timeline jumps to present day and beyond, this series combines elements of DEVS, FOUNDATION, and THE LEFTOVERS.

The story follows John of Patmos, whose biblical visions are revealed to be encounters with an advanced AI communication device embedded in a crystal. As John travels through time portals, his limited ancient perspective transforms modern technology and environmental disasters into the apocalyptic imagery that would become Christianity's most controversial text.

Season 1 (8 episodes) focuses on John's initial discovery and vision quest, while Season 2 explores his adaptation to modern times as an immortal prophet. The series features practical effects mixed with high-end VFX for portal sequences, grounding supernatural elements in scientific speculation about ancient advanced civilizations.
