Not just one of the most anticipated series of the summer, but of 2018 period. A dark comedy hailing from director Cary Fukunaga and novelist Patrick Somerville, the series - based on a Norweigan show of the same name - stars Emma Stone and Jonah Hill and takes place in a mental institution.

There they'll undergo a new medical experiment, which places the patients inside fantasy worlds of their own creation. It looks all kinds of weird, and we can expect some stunning imagery from Fukunaga, while both Stone and Hill can easily switch from comedy to drama while sharing a good chemistry between them. Support comes from Justin Theroux and Sally Field, and this sounds like a funny, twisted trip.

Air Date: TBC
