INSOMNIA
The first two episodes drop on May 23rd. There are 6 episodes in total that run for 60 minutes each. Insomnia follows Emma, who fears she might be losing her mind when her hard-won dream life starts to turn into a nightmare. A couple of weeks before her fortieth birthday, Emma stops sleeping. Just as her mother had done right before she suffered a violent psychotic breakdown on the night of her fortieth birthday. Emma’s mother always told her she’d go the same way. That she had the same ‘Bad Blood’ and now Emma’s terrified it’s true.
As events worsen, Emma’s world starts to unravel and she realises that only by investigating the truth of her painful past, can she find the answers to her present and prevent tragedy from striking a second time.
MK ULTRA
The film drops on May 24th. Set during the true and unconscionable Central Intelligence Agency MK ULTRA drug experimentations in the early 1960s, the film follows the journey of Ford Srauss, a brilliant psychiatrist, whose moral and scientific boundaries are pushed to the limit as he is recruited to run a subset of the program in a rural Mississippi hospital.
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
The box set drops on May 3rd. It contains 7 series, 144 episodes in total that run for 45 minutes each. Teenager Buffy Summers is the Slayer, a lone young woman chosen in each generation to be bestowed with mystical powers to fight Vampires, Demons and the forces of darkness. Beings descended from the ‘Old Ones’, the evil inhabitants of Earth before humans, who hope to rule Earth once more.
THE X-FILES
A new series is coming weekly from May 13th. There are 11 series in total, 218 episodes that run for 45 minutes each.
