YouTube is releasing an intriguing new original series titled Weird City, which features quite the cast!
From the minds of Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders comes Weird City, a satirical anthology set in the not-too-distant future metropolis of Weird. In this dystopian setting of our show, the middle class has completely vanished dividing Weird City into two sections: Above the Line (The Haves), and Below the Line (The Have Nots).
Presiding over the denizens of the city is the strange and mysterious Dr. Negari, who weaves all of our stories together. Each episode is a topic that pertains to present day life in America and the world: social media addiction, online dating, fitness obsession, etc.. WEIRD CITY captures the unease of modern urban living, in a bizarre and peculiar lens.
Starring Levar Burton, Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner), Hannah Simone (New Girl), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Rosario Dawson (Luke Cage), Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Laverne Cox (Orange Is The New Black), Ed O’Neill (Modern Family), Michael Cera (Superbad), Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians), Malcolm Barrett (Timeless), Gillian Jacobs (Community), Sara Gilbert (Roseanne), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), Eugene Cordero (Kong: Skull Island), and Auli’i Cravalho (Moana).
