‘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.”

Henry Cavill had been set to lead Amazon MGM Studios’ “Warhammer 40,000” series a few years ago, and the small screen project finally gets a fresh update this week.
According to Deadline, horror master Mike Flanagan (“Carrie”) is currently in talks to come on board the “Warhammer” TV series as an Executive Producer.
Deadline also notes in today’s report, “It’s still being determined if the Doctor Sleep filmmaker will be showrunning the Henry Cavill passion project.”
Henry Cavill is set to both star in and executive produce the upcoming series, with Amazon MGM Studios potentially looking to also bring “Warhammer” into the world of film.
“Warhammer 40,000 is set in the far future, where humanity stands at the edge of what might be its brightest future, or its darkest age.
“The threats to humankind’s empire are many — traitors driven by the fires of ambition, alien empires sworn to reclaim the stars, and the corruption of reality by malevolent gods.”
Vertigo Entertainment will executive produce alongside Games Workshop and Amazon Studios.
“Warhammer 40,000 has captured the imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon and MGM Studios. “We are excited to work with Henry, Vertigo Entertainment, and Games Workshop across our Amazon entertainment businesses on this brilliant, immersive franchise for our global customers to experience for years to come.”
“I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honour and the responsibility,” said Henry Cavill. “I couldn’t be more grateful for all the hard work put in by Vertigo, Amazon Studios and Games Workshop to make this happen. One step closer to making a nigh on lifelong dream come true.”
