, and stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac.





Garland recently announced that the 8 episodes that he has written for Devs tells a complete story, but it could be carried on. He said that:





“If they (FX) want to carry it on, I guess they could… it’s a self-contained story though. There’s ways you could carry it on. Hopefully shooting in about six months. I’ve started talking about casting, locations, practical stuff like that.”
