Part one of Dispatches From Elsewhere two-night premiere event begins on Sunday, March 1st at 10:07 p.m. ET/PT on AMC. In the series premiere, “Peter,” Peter (Jason Segel) is stuck in the everyday routine of his mundane life until the day something changes when he meets a group of strangers who all have something in common. Together, they begin an adventure into a world that has been hidden all around them.
Part two of the series premiere continues in its regular time-slot on Monday, March 2nd with an all-new episode at 10:15 p.m. ET/PT. In the second episode, “Simone,” the game continues as Simone (Eve Lindley) and Peter follow the clues and explore the city; the gang discovers that the game runs deeper than they thought and they have to make an important choice.
Created by and starring Jason Segel, the ten-hour series is centered around 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. Starring alongside Segel are Academy® and Emmy® Award-winner Sally Field, Academy Award®-nominee Richard E. Grant, multi-GRAMMY Award®-winner André Benjamin and rising star Eve Lindley.
The AMC Studios production is executive produced by Segel, Scott Rudin, showrunner Mark Friedman, Garrett Basch, Eli Bush, Jeff Freilich and Alethea Jones.
