Something big is happening at the FBI in the trailer for FX’s new original series Class of ’09. The series, which stars Brian Tyree Henry (Bullet train, Atlanta) and Kate Mara (House of cards), appears to be a mystery crime show that follows a few different FBI agents, all from the same class. Other than that, the series isn’t revealing too many of its mysteries just yet.
The trailer shows us some of the members of this apparently important FBI graduating class, all of whom were chosen for their backgrounds in fields other than law enforcement. But what isn’t clear from the trailer is what exactly happens next. We seem to see a few different time period changes, and we definitely see the character getting into some sort of larger conspiracy that seems to threaten them or the country.
The trailer’s YouTube description offers a few more clues, including some hints about how the show will be structured:
FXing Class of ’09 follows a class of FBI agents set at three different points in time who struggle with massive changes as the American criminal justice system is altered by artificial intelligence. Spanning multiple decades and told across intertwined timelines, the series explores the nature of justice, humanity, and the choices we make that ultimately shape our lives and legacy.
As for the details of how all that happens, or how the story comes together moment-to-moment, we’ll just have to wait for the series to come out next month.
Class of ’09 was created by Tom Rob Smith (London spy) and will premiere on Hulu starting May 10 with two episodes.
