Next Season’s Shows on Vimeo! Oscar’s Hotel for Fantastical Creatures, The Parallax Theory, Con Man, and Eastsiders Season 2 UPDATED

Share

The upcoming new shows on Vimeo On Demand are enough to warm any geek’s heart. Start with Oscar’s Hotel for Fantastical Creatures a crazy-sounding fantasy show featuring a hotel with strange guests–guests strange enough that it’s taking Jim Henson’s Creature Shop™ to create them. Then there is The Parallax Theory, a show about the end of the world–only there is only one person who believes it is coming. He is trying to convince a disbelieving world that they need to do something to save themselves. And Con Man, staring Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk as actors who once starred on a science fiction series only to find it cancelled ahead of time. One has gone on to find fame and fortune, one has not. And, yes, this is more than a little meta. I can’t wait to see how it plays out on screen.

Let us know which you’re looking forward to the most!

Con Man

Con Man (Sept 30 | Now in Pre-order): Con Man centers on the post-show life of Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk) the co-star of “Spectrum,” a sci-fi series, which was canceled before its time and went on to become a cult classic beloved by fans. Wray’s good friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred as the series’ Captain and has gone on to become a major celebrity, while Wray (Tudyk) hasn’t found his desired level of stardom. Wray is the begrudging guest of sci-fi conventions, comic book store appearances, and different pop culture events; however, everything is not as it seems from the outside. The series explores these events and all the weird and crazy things that happen along the way.

Con Man features a plethora of Sci-Fi’s biggest personalities, including: Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”), Amy Acker (“Person of Interest”), Gina Torres (“Firefly”, “Suits”), Sean Maher (“Firefly”, “Eastsiders”), Felicia Day (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), Seth Green (“Family Guy”, Austin Powers), Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), Jewel Staite, (“Firefly”), Summer Glau (“Firefly”, “Terminator: SCC”), Sean Astin (Lord of The Rings), James Gunn and Joss Whedon.
