Kevin Connolly (“Entourage”) will direct an episode featuring Jay R. Ferguson (“Mad Men”), Visual Effects specialist Sam Nicholson (“The Walking Dead”) will direct Christina Pickles (“Friends”) and Martha Coolidge (Real Genius) will helm the remaining episodes.
“The Unknown” is comprised of six 30-minute, standalone episodes that fuse drama, psychological thrills, suspense and horror.
