Hulu is hoping to duplicate the success of The Handmaid’s Tale with their newest offering, Dimension 404, starring Mark Hamill and Lea Michele.
In a press release for the show, Hulu promised viewers that Dimension 404 would be a sci-fi thriller series in the vein of Netflix’s Black Mirror. Named after the error code you’ll find on a website’s broken page, Dimension 404 stars Glee alumnus Lea Michele in the premiere episode, opposite Joel McHale and Robert Buckley. The episode, titled “Matchmaker,” is a dark tale of a lonely music blogger who meets his “perfect match” on a dating app…and, of course, she turns out to be too good to be true.
The series, which has only six episodes in the can so far, will feature Ashley Rickard, Sarah Hyland, Constance Wu, Megan Mullally, and comedian-turned-Trump-skewerer Patton Oswalt in upcoming episodes.
Check out the teaser below.
Mark Hamill, who of course is best known for both his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga and The Joker in the animated Batman series, is the narrator of all of the episodes.
From the press release:
"“In the darkest depths of cyberspace, there is another world. A lost dimension, home to wonders unseen, terrors unspeakable, and stories unlike any ever told. Dimension 404 is a science fiction anthology that explores the wonders – and terrors – of our digital age. From outrageous horror comedy to mind-bending action adventure, each episode tells a weird and wild sci-fi tale where the twist ending… is just the beginning. Do not click back. Do not reload. You have reconnected… to Dimension 404.”"
The show is created by Dez Dolly, Will Campos, Dan Johnson, and David Welsh. Freddie Wong and Matthew Arnold are the executive producers.
