It seems that anthology series are making something of a comeback recently, with FX running multiple season long anthologies from “Fargo” to “American Crime Story” to “Feud” and beyond. Hulu’s new show, however, seems to be following Netflix’s “Black Mirror” (with a dash of “Stranger Things“) with their own sci-fi fantasy anthology series “Dimension 404.” Telling different stories about futuristic technological advances, each episode is a self contained story with Mark Hamill bridging the episodes by serving as the series narrator.
The series has a pretty great cast, as well, with Patton Oswalt, Lea Michele, Joel McHale, Sarah Hyland, Megan Mullally, and William Buckley lending their talents to individual episodes. Based on the trailer, the series looks to have an overall funnier, lighter and much weirder tone than “Black Mirror.” The first episode premieres April 4 on Hulu.
