Watched all of Black Mirror and are still in the need of more futuristic anthology shows to binge? Perhaps one that is not quite as bleak? Today’s the premiere of Amazon’s Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams which is based on stories by the acclaimed science fiction writer of the title, whose work has been adapted into such films and series as Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, and Amazon’s The Man in High Castle (to name just a few). The 10-episode first season includes such notable actors as Bryan Cranston (who is also a producer), Janelle Monáe, Juno Temple, Timothy Spall, Anna Paquin, Terrence Howard, Vera Framiga, Greg Kinnear, Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) and more.

Ólafur Arnalds scored three of the episodes, including work on “Autofac” which Janelle Monáe is in, and EDM artist BT worked on the music as well. Watch the trailer below.
