Dispatches from Elsewhere, AMC

Before its highly anticipated premiere, AMC has released the first look photos from their upcoming original anthology series, Dispatches from Elsewhere, created by and starring Jason Segel. Not only can readers take a sneak peek, there’s also a teaser trailer included to watch. 

Four ordinary people who feel there’s something missing in their lives, but they can’t quite put their finger on what it is. This diverse foursome is brought together by chance – or perhaps it’s by design – when they stumble onto a puzzle hiding just behind the veil of everyday life. As they begin to accept the mysterious ‘Dispatches from Elsewhere’ challenges, they come to find that the mystery winds deeper than they imagined, and their eyes are opened to a world of possibility and magic.

Here are 5 reasons why we’re excited for Dispatches from Elsewhere:
