XXVII century. People are so adapted to life that the loss of a shell does not always mean death. If the body has lost the ability to function, then consciousness is placed in a special capsule, which can be transplanted into another body. Many years ago, Takeshi Kovacs was killed by a military unit. In the past, a brutal killer, Takeshi must understand why and why now his mind was loaded into someone else’s body…
When will the sequel to “Altered Carbon Season 3” be released?
The first 2 seasons received very good portions of positive feedback from viewers and critics. And fans of the fantastic TV show “Altered Carbon” were genuinely surprised when they found out that the project was closed. Perhaps the coronavirus intervened and the director saw no reason to wait for permission to continue production work, or maybe there were other reasons, for example, the rating was not high enough for the producers … The show was officially closed without comment.
Plot
Waking up after hundreds of years in a strange body, Takeshi is trying to remember where and who he was. A rebel, an uncontrollable killer, fighting on the side of those people whose beliefs are more to his liking – this is how Takeshi can be described. A dark woman constantly appears in his head, who is talking with him, and it seems that Takeshi will never be able to forget about her…
The world has become different than before. Kovacs is struggling to adapt. A woman policeman was sent to help him, who recently wanted to dismiss Mr. Bancroft, because she could not solve his crime. Laurens Bancroft was killed by a shot in the memory disk located in his head. Only a lot of money and foresight could keep his consciousness alive.
Laurens openly invites Takeshi to investigate his death. Someone clearly wanted to fine-tune everything as suicide, but who and why? This Laurens wants to find out with the help of one of the best fighters that are remembered for generations. People like Kovacs have a very developed intuition, which helps them to stay alive for a long time and see what others do not see.
Bancroft is sure that he could never have killed himself. Laurens loves life, he has a wonderful family. But Takeshi decides to refuse such an offer and once again free consciousness from a body foreign to him. Spending the last day on Earth, Kovacs sees in his head a woman who asks him to do business. She is dear to Takeshi and he is unable to resist.
At this time, the hotel in which Kovacs settled was attacked. For this, special people were hired for a lot of money. Takeshi concludes that someone very influential does not want him to take on the Laurens case. So it’s time to say “yes” to the circumstances and find the killer.
Viewers are again waiting for an immersion in atmospheric time, when criminals and the police have the same chance of survival. But can the protagonist improve his abilities in such a world?
