“Shall we get started?”

Amazon revealed the first teaser trailer for “Homecoming,” its upcoming psychological starring Julia Roberts, during the Prime Video panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 on Friday. And though it only gives us a tiny glimpse of Roberts in character as caseworker Heidi Bergman (she literally just scribbles down some notes, says the above line to someone off camera and then clicks on a tape recorder) we’re already entranced by her calm, collected mannerisms. Luckily, Amazon also revealed that you won’t have to wait much longer, as “Homecoming” will premiere this November on the streaming service.

The rest of the one-minute clip promoting the mind-bending drama directed by “Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail, explores the abandoned halls of what we can safely assume is the titular Homecoming Transitional Support Center where Heidi workers, a Geist Group facility helping soldiers transition back to civilian life.

Walter Cruz (Stephan James) is one of these soldiers, eager to begin the next phase of his life. Overseeing Heidi and the facility is Colin Belfast (Bobby Cannavale), an ambitious company man whose manic demands point to questionable motives.

Four years later, Heidi has started a new life, living with her mother (Sissy Spacek) and working as a small-town waitress, when a Department of Defense auditor (Shea Whigham) comes to her with questions about why she left the Homecoming facility. Heidi begins to realize that there’s a whole other story behind the story she’s been telling herself.

Based on the popular podcast of the same name, “Homecoming” is created by Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg. Along with Roberts, the cast includes Jeremy Allen White, Alex Karpovsky and Dermot Mulroney, among others.

Mulroney is set for a recurring guest star role as Anthony, Heidi’s (Roberts) boyfriend, who is eager to please, but a bit needy and grows increasingly frustrated with Heidi’s lack of attention to him and their relationship.

“Homecoming” is produced by Esmail through his production company Esmail Corp; as well as “Mr. Robot” executive producer Chad Hamilton of Anonymous Content; the podcast’s Horowitz and Bloomberg; and Chris Giliberti, Alex Blumberg, and Matt Lieber of Gimlet Media. Roberts will also serve as executive producer through her production company Red Om Films; her partners Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill will co-executive produce.

Watch the trailer above.

“Homecoming” will debut Friday, Nov. 2 on Prime Video.

Dark Horse Comics
1. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" -- We can tell you right now Joss Whedon's name will show up on this list more than any other showrunner's, as the guy loves to keep canon going for all of his series in comic book form with Dark Horse Comics. And of course that includes his pride and joy, "Buffy."

2. "The X-Files" -- Yes, we know that "The X-Files" actually did get revived a couple years ago (and then died again), however, the Fox series first picked back up in issues brought to fans by IDW Publishing.

3. "Charmed" -- Here is another one that came back to the small screen, only The CW rebooted the franchise with a different cast; whereas these Zenescope Entertainment comics fill in what's been happening with the OG sisters, played by Hollie Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty and Rose McGowan, since the 2006 series finale.

4. "Firefly" -- Another Whedonverse series that got a canonical continuation in comics, only this one was way more short-lived than "Buffy." The one-season wonder led by Nathan Fillion carries on in the "Serenity" comics, named after the spaceship the crew travels on.
Dark Horse Comics
5. "Dollhouse" -- Same as "Firefly," but with Eliza Dushku.
Dark Horse Comics
6. "Jericho" -- This CBS sci-fi series got just two seasons on air, but two more in print.
IDW Publishing
7. "Star Trek: The Original Series" -- The Star Trek franchise has been adapted for almost every medium, and comics is no exception, with this IDW series continuing the story of the USS Enterprise.
IDW Publishing
8. "Xena: Warrior Princess" -- Xena kept kicking ass in 55 issues of a Dynamite comic series that ran from 1997-2009.
Dynamite Entertainment
9. "Smallville" -- This series published by DC Comics maintains the continuity of the WB's "Smallville" and follows Clark Kent's (Tom Welling) story after the on-screen Season 10 finale.

DC Comics
10. "Angel" -- The spinoff to "Buffy" (and a show some fans say may be Joss' real masterpiece) got its own series of stories a few years after cancellation. Those comics constantly crossover with the Scooby Gang's storylines in the "Buffy" series, so plenty of fun for fans of the Buffyverse as a whole. But the core story now focuses on Angel and Faith's relationship -- in a series called "Angel & Faith."

Dark Horse
11. "Farscape" -- This Sci Fi (now Syfy) network show wasn't appreciated in its own time, but got a series of comics following its cancellation after Season 4, thanks to a strong cult following.
BOOM! Studios
12. "Battlestar Galactica" --
The acclaimed reimagining went out with a truly baffling bang in 2009, but the 2018 Dynamite Entertainment series "BSG vs BSG" tops it. The comic sees the crew of the 2003-2009 SYFY series encounters the crew of the 1978 series.
Dynamite Comics
13. "Grimm" -- NBC's dark fairytale-centric drama got six seasons and a comic book.
Dynamite Comics
14. "Doctor Who" -- Are the "Doctor Who" comics canon? Well, because some of them were published by Titan before the show's revival, some fans say yes. And others will give an emphatic no.
Titan Comics
15. "Babylon 5" -- Almost every "Babylon 5" comic that's been written since the TV series ended is considered part of the franchise, having been based on outlines written directly by creator Joseph Michael Straczynski.

DC Comics
16. "Married... With Children" -- Yeah, this one may seem like a weird show to adapt into comic book form until you find out that...

NOW Comics
17. "Alf" -- ... this one was too.
Marvel Comics
