The first look at the upcoming Dredd TV series has arrived in the form of concept art.

Captured in the gallery below, the world of Judge Dredd: Mega-City One is shown for the first time. It is a clear sign that the TV series will focus, in large portion, on futuristic world building.

The first photo, titled "Democracy March," sees the streets of Mega-City One packed with citizens who appear to be in protest. In the background, the epic skyline can be seen. The title may be alluding to the events of the the Judge Dredd comic's America story, which dealt with heavy themes and serves as one of the most-beloved and important arcs in the titular character's history.

The second photo, titled "Lowlife Arrival," goes underground at Mega-City One. Judge Dredd's Low Life comic arc was centered around Judges operating in Mega-City One's lowest locations, with the photo possibly teasing their arrival in this particular location in the form of men rolling in with bright headlights.

Judge Dredd: Mega-City One has previously teased that the TV series will create "multi-thread storylines, one of which will be Dredd's but others which take us into the wider world of Mega-City One," and these photos seem to push this comment even further.

The photos debuted on IGN. Both images in the gallery are over a year old, revealing the series has been in development for a considerable amount of time, though it does not yet have a premiere date or network to call home.
