There’s a brand new Stan original series, and we’re dubbing it the nextStranger Things.

Electric Dreams,produced by and starringBreaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston, is set in a dark dystopian future and explores themes of state surveillance, human rights, technology, power, democracy and prejudice.

The story is based on a collection of works by Philip K. Dick, an American science fiction writer whose work was greatly influenced by the Cold War.

Dick’s work has already been transformed into film and television works, includingBlade RunnerandMinority Report,two terrifying representations of what the future might hold.

Cranston’s interpretation ofElectric Dreamsis no exception. It starsTrue Blood’sAnna Paquin,As Good As It Gets’Greg Kinnear,Reservoir Dogs’,Steve Buscemi andThe Departed’sVera Farmiga.

Much likeStranger Things,the series is “set in a different and unique world – some which lie in the far reaches of the universe and time…”

There are 10 episodes, which will be released weekly exclusively on Stan.
