Weapons Stars Officially Reunite in a First Look at a Chilling Political Thriller
A refuge under threat
A group of them finds a purported safe house near the Mexican border. The retreat initially seems peaceful, but its promise of safety soon falls apart as the residents fight to stay alive.
A tense nighttime conversation
In the preview, residents Andrew and Claire go hiking at night. They are played by Clayton Farris and Callie Schuttera, reuniting after Weapons. Andrew, once a philanthropist who saw himself as apolitical, says the government seized his assets and he became an “agitator.” Claire challenges his stance, pointing out that he remained apolitical until the government affected him personally.
