Beyond is a science fiction and supernatural drama television series that aired from 2016 to 2018. The show centers on Holden Matthews, a young man who wakes up from a 12-year coma with mysterious and powerful abilities. As he tries to reconnect with his family and friends, Holden quickly realizes that his return to the real world is far from normal, and his powers make him a target for shadowy forces.
Throughout the series, Holden struggles to understand the origin and purpose of his abilities, which are linked to a mysterious realm called “The Realm.” He becomes entangled with a secretive organization known as Hollow Sky, which has its own agenda involving the Realm and those who can access it. The show explores themes of identity, memory, destiny, and the blurred line between science and the supernatural.
Holdenβs journey is not only external but deeply internal, as he wrestles with who he was before the coma and who he has become. His relationships, especially with his family, his childhood friend Willa (who also has ties to Hollow Sky), and his brother Luke, evolve as secrets unravel. Tensions rise as Holden is forced to choose between living a normal life and embracing the role he may be destined for.
Beyond ran for two seasons before being canceled in 2018. While the show was praised for its intriguing premise and emotional depth, it received mixed reviews regarding pacing and plot development. Despite its early end, the series built a loyal fanbase and offered a blend of action, mystery, and psychological drama that appealed to fans of young adult and supernatural fiction.
