Noughts+Crosses series on Peacock is a the latest Young Adult drama set in a fictitious world. The series brings a love story with a twist where two people from different racial backgrounds are deeply in love, but must navigate the social opposition.
Noughts + Crosses Plot
‘Noughts + Crosses’ follows Callum and Sephy as they fall in love and their relationship is doomed from the go.
The series imagines an alternate universe in which history happened in racial reverse. In this world, Africa – or “Aprica” – invaded Europe centuries ago, enslaving its people.
In present-day London, “Albion,” slavery is an institution of the past, but Jim Crow-esque segregation laws maintain the power dynamic: a ruling class of Black “Crosses” control the country’s politics, wealth and culture over an oppressed, impoverished underclass of white “Noughts” who are at the brink of revolt. Against this backdrop, a forbidden love story unfolds.
Callum McGregor is a Nought, and Sephy Hadley is a Cross and the daughter of a prominent politician. Destiny crosses their divergent paths, and they’re swept away in a romance that seems doomed from the start.
