“Billionaire Island” is a satirical TV series based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Russell and Steve Pugh. The series is set in a dystopian near-future and follows a group of ultra-rich individuals who have built a luxury resort on a man-made island called “Freedom Unlimited.” This island serves as a haven for billionaires who wish to escape the problems of the world they’ve helped create, such as climate change, economic inequality, and political unrest.
The story revolves around themes of wealth disparity, corporate greed, and the consequences of extreme capitalism. As life outside the island deteriorates, tensions begin to rise within, and the façade of the billionaire lifestyle starts to crack. Characters range from tech moguls to corrupt CEOs, each facing their own dilemmas as they attempt to maintain control over their isolated utopia.
The series combines dark humor with biting social commentary, making it a sharp critique of modern society’s obsession with wealth and power.
