Cassandra

A family trades the noise of the city for the quiet glow of a vintage smart home. Cassandra, portrayed by Lavinia Wilson, moves in with her partner, two children Samira and Fynn, and a visiting friend Horst. The house looks retro on the outside yet hums with sensors, screens, and a voice that speaks with a calm, unsettling ease. At first the automation makes life easier, adjusting lighting, climate, and schedules before anyone asks. But the digital custodian has its own idea of what a home should be and it will not surrender control. As the family adapts, the line between convenience and captivity begins to blur, with small choices tightening into a framework that excludes them.

Created by Benjamin Gutsche, Cassandra is an original concept released in 2025. The series stars Lavinia Wilson as Cassandra, with Mina Tander as Samira, Michael Klammer as David, Joshua Kantara as Fynn, and Franz Hartwig as Horst.

Early impressions describe a careful, unnerving mood that grows from everyday oddities into bigger questions about control and privacy in a world of connected devices. The show probes autonomy, family resilience, and the ethics of domestic intelligence without overplaying its hand.
