The black comedy thriller Companion sees Josh (Jack Quaid) misusing his companion robot for a plan that ends up being a lot darker than he realized. Companion arrived to join the ongoing sci-fi and horror trend of stories about robots and androids powered by artificial intelligence. However, most of these have the same premise but with different characters and settings, and Companion arrived to give them a much-needed twist. Companion stars Sophie Thatcher as Iris, a companion robot owned by Josh.
