Moonhaven

A hundred years from now, Bella Sway is a lunar cargo pilot and smuggler who wakes accused of a crime and abandoned on Moonhaven, a deliberately crafted 500 square mile Garden of Eden on the Moon meant to develop fixes for Earth's impending collapse. Cut off from her old life, she has to adapt to communal rules, long-term planning, and scientific ambitions that prioritize future generations. Her outsider status raises suspicion and ignites political fractures within the colony, as residents balance transparency, secrecy, and experimentation. The series follows Bella as she works to clear her name while uncovering the social and technological compromises woven into Moonhaven's idealistic design, keeping major plot turns and endings under wraps.

Released in 2022 and created by Peter Ocko, Moonhaven stars Emma McDonald, Dominic Monaghan, Joe Manganiello, Ayelet Zurer, and Kadeem Hardison. The show blends science fiction with political drama and emphasizes detailed production design and futuristic ecology.

Moonhaven did not dominate award seasons and has no widely reported major Emmy or Golden Globe wins. Its recognition has been more modest, coming from genre festivals and niche sci-fi outlets rather than mainstream awards circuits.

While not a mainstream phenomenon, Moonhaven generated online discussion about utopian governance, climate response strategies, and whether engineered ecosystems could be practical. Fans responded to its distinct visual world, speculative technology, and the idea of a lunar society attempting cooperative solutions, producing fan art and debate about realism and ethics in lunar colonization.
