In the “Real Life” episode of Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams, Paquin will play “a policewoman living in the future who shares headspace with George, played by Howard, a brilliant game designer, as each pursue violent killers whose plans could have shattering consequences. In a race against time, sharing a bond that no one else can see, they learn the very thing that connects them can also destroy them.”
A number of writers are working on the standalone episodes, including Jack Thorne, Moore, Michael Dinner, Tony Grisoni, Matthew Graham, David Farr, Dee Rees, and Travis Beacham. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) will executive produce. Pulver is known for her work in the BBC’s adaptation of Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. She was seen in True Blood as the fairy Claudine Crane, Da Vinci’s Demons as Clarice Orsini and most recently in the film Underworld: Blood Wars. She has a recurring role on the TV series Quantico.
