HBO threw a winning pass when they teased the show's return.

The TV movie, directed by Ramin Bahrani, is set in a dystopian futuristic American society where history is rewritten, “firemen” burn books that have been outlawed, and the media is a opiate.

In this first clip, Beatty (Shannon) asks Montag (Jordan) if he’s ever seen a real, physical book. He probes, “Do you want to know what’s inside? Insanity, chaos.”
