NBC’s new dramatic series Reverie has landed a Wednesday, May 30, 2018 premiere date. Described as an “immersive-reality drama,” Reverie stars Golden Golden nominee Dennis Haysbert and Sarah Shahi and was created by Mickey Fisher (Extant). The Reverie cast also includes Sendhil Ramamurthy, Jessica Lu, and Kathryn Morris.

Series creator Fisher executive produces with Tom Szentgyorgyi, Brooklyn Weaver, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey. Jaume Collet-Serra, director of Unknown, The Shallows, and Run All Night, directed the series’ first episode.


Per NBC, Reverie is a grounded thriller that “follows Mara Kint (Sarah Shahi), a former hostage negotiator and expert on human behavior who became a college professor after facing an unimaginable personal tragedy. But when her former boss, Charlie Ventana (Dennis Haysbert), brings her in to save ordinary people who have lost themselves in a highly advanced immersive virtual-reality program in which you can live out your wildest dreams, she finds that in saving others, she may actually have discovered a way to save herself.”

NBC has also confirmed the premiere date for season two of Marlon starring Marlon Wayans. Season two will debut on Thursday, June 14, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT. Season one pulled in an average of 5.6 million viewers and was the summer season’s #1 new scripted series among the major networks.

Essence Atkins, Bresha Webb, Diallo Riddle, Notlim Taylor and Amir O’Neil star alongside Marlon Wayans in the comedy which is loosely based on Marlon Wayans’ life. Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez, Michael Rotenberg, and Christopher Moynihan executive produce, and Moynihan also serves as the show’s writer.

The Marlon Plot: Marlon centers on a loving (but sometimes inappropriate) father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his very-together ex-wife. While his misguided fatherly advice, unstoppable larger-than-life personality and unpredictable Internet superstardom might get in the way sometimes, for Marlon family really always does come first — even if he’s the biggest kid of all.
