‘Command Z’ Trailer – Steven Soderbergh Puts a Wormhole in a Washing Machine in Surprise Sci-fi Series
The always prolific and surprising Steven Soderbergh (Unsane, Kimi, Magic Mike’s Last Dance) is back with another unexpected project, this one a sci-fi series titled Command Z.
The official trailer for Command Z – which stars Michael Cera – was uploaded exclusively to Soderbergh’s “Soderblog” this morning, and that’s also where the series will exclusively premiere on July 17. Yup, you’ll only be able to watch it directly on Extension765.com.
Indiewire explains, “Michael Cera stars as a scientist who tasks his employees with a “historic” mission to travel back in time to revise history and save the world.”
“The futuristic sci-fi series hinges on a “wormhole in a washing machine” to redo the past to hopefully save the (future) present.”
Command Z will be released in eight parts, with Roy Wood Jr. and Liev Schreiber also starring.
Indiewire further details the mysterious sci-fi satire project, explaining that the series was “independently financed by Soderbergh outside of his overall deal with Warner Bros. and HBO.”
Watch the trailer only over on Soderbergh’s official website now.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
