Patton Oswalt, Ashley Rickards, and Sterling Beaumon have signed on to appear in Hulu’s upcoming six-episode sci-fi series “Dimension 404“, which comes from RocketJump and Lionsgate, according to Deadline.
The series will be an anthology format with each hour-long episode standing on its own merits. The stories are said to be inspired by late night ventures into the weird parts of the internet.
The site also gave synopses for three episodes:
1) “Oswalt plays Uncle Dusty, a lovable movie nerd who worships at the altar of cinematic history. But when he takes his teenage niece Chloe (Sarah Hyland) to see a new sci-fi YA film, he quickly discovers that the film’s never-before-seen cinematic format – called “Cinethrax” – gives the audience a strange, perilous moviegoing experience.”
2) “Rickards plays Sue, a brilliant yet scattered college student whose procrastinating ways get her caught up in time-traveling adventure when Captain Chronos, the hero of her favorite ’90s-era cartoon, shows up needing help to save the past, present and future – unless the villainous Lord Entropy can stop her.”
3) “Beaumon is Jess, a handsome, slightly mysterious and strong-willed high school senior who works part time at Ernie’s Arcade. There, teenage gamer Andrew (Ryan Lee) discovers a mysterious, never-played arcade game called Polybius, and investigates its dark and bloody provenance.”
So far no premiere date has been set.
