Plot

B.J. Novak brings to the screen 'The Premise', an audacious and forward-thinking anthology series that masterfully combines half-hour standalone episodes to explore eternal moral dilemmas in our modern, unprecedented era. Choosing the power of art over debate, The Premise dives into today's most pressing issues, promising to ignite spirited discussions. With Novak at the helm, and a dazzling line-up of established stars and emerging talent, each episode ventures into the labyrinth of our contemporary concerns. From gun control, identity, and social justice, to sex, capitalism, revenge, love, fame, and social media - no theme is untouched. 'The Premise' seamlessly marries daring comedic insights with potent dramatic performances, creating a unique narrative tone that echoes the zeitgeist of our times. It embodies a questing philosophical spirit and breathes life into provocative concepts, crafting stories that are as multi-faceted as they are engaging, and as humorous as they are heartfelt. 'The Premise' unearths the topics we often reserve for private texts, and presents them in the public sphere, unraveling complex, character-driven narratives that resonate deeply with our shared human experience. This series is an invitation to converse, to question, and to see ourselves reflected in the stories of our times.
