DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE

AMC Networks’ RLJE Films features the DVD/Blu-ray debut of AMC’s original anthology series DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE on August 4, 2020. Created by and starring Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), this captivating 10-episode series is about four diverse strangers searching for meaning as they stumble into a mysterious game hidden in plain sight. The fantastical drama also stars a bevy of acclaimed performers alongside Segel, including Academy® and Emmy Award®-winner Sally Field (Lincoln, Brothers & Sisters), Academy Award®-nominee Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), multi-Grammy Award®-winner André Benjamin (American Crime), and Eve Lindley (Mr. Robot). Now on a 3-Disc DVD or Blu-ray set ($39.98/$44.98), Dispatches From Elsewhere previously premiered on AMC in March 2020.

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.

Shot in Philadelphia, the AMC Studios production is executive produced by Segel, along with Academy Award^®-winner Scott Rudin (Lady Bird, Fences), showrunner Mark Friedman (Wayward Pines), Academy Award^®-nominee Garrett Basch (My Dinner with Hervé, The Night Of), Academy Award^®-nominee Eli Bush (Lady Bird, Isle of Dogs), Jeff Freilich (Lodge 49, Grace and Frankie) and Alethea Jones (Queen America, Lodge 49).
