Late yesterday, Netflix pulled back the curtain on its upcoming futuristic prison drama, Spiderhead, which launches on the streaming platform on June 17. Starring The Cabin in the Woods’ Chris Hemsworth and Top Gun: Maverick‘s Miles Teller, the film appears to be an intriguing cocktail of techno-thriller, horror, sci-fi and black comedy.
