BLACK MIRROR\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
Network: Netflix\r\n
\r\n
\r\nCreated by Charlie Brooker and debuting on BBC\u0027s Channel 4 before migrating to Netflix, Black Mirror is largely credited with sparking the current anthology TV craze. The series is very much in the vein of The Twilight Zone, offering sci-fi oriented stories with an undercurrent of dark humor. Each episode tends to deal in some way with the relationship between humanity and modern technology. While the segments tell standalone stories, rumors persist about certain fan-favorites receiving sequels or potentially even full-fledged spinoffs. Season 4 was recently released. There\u0027s no official word on a Season 5 just yet, but it seems almost a certainty considering the show\u0027s popularity.”,”height”:1150,”width”:2045,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/black-mirror-1515649662491.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/black-mirror-1515649662491_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every Current and Upcoming TV Anthology Series”,”relativePosition”:”02″,”albumTotalCount”:10},{“caption”:”DIMENSION 404\r\n

\r\nCreated by Dez Dolly and Will Campos, Dimension 404 is Hulu\u0027s attempt at building a Twilight Zone-inspired sci-fi anthology, albeit with a more humorous bent. Mark Hamill serves as the show\u0027s narrator and one recurring character. The first season debuted on the streaming service in April 2017, but there\u0027s been no word on a possible second season yet.”,”height”:1163,”width”:2069,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/dimension-404-1515649662497.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/dimension-404-1515649662497_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every Current and Upcoming TV Anthology Series”,”relativePosition”:”03″,”albumTotalCount”:10},{“caption”:”LORE\r\n

\r\nAaron Mahnke\u0027s Lore is the first in what could become a trend of podcasts making the leap to the world of television.

\r\n
\r\nConsidering how prolific sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick was (he wrote the novels that inspired Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report), it should come as no surprise that his ideas could form the foundation of an entire anthology series. Philip K. Dick\u0027s Electric Dreams draws from Dick\u0027s vast body of novels and short stories. The series has a less clear theme than Black Mirror, but episodes tend to explore the nature of humanity or the perception of reality. The series debuted on BBC in September 2017 and made its U.S. debut on Amazon Prime in January 2018.”,”height”:1080,”width”:1920,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/electric-dreams-1515649662499.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/electric-dreams-1515649662499_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every Current and Upcoming TV Anthology Series”,”relativePosition”:”05″,”albumTotalCount”:10},{“caption”:”THE GUEST BOOK\r\n

\r\nMy Name Is Earl executive producer Greg Garcia created this comedic anthology series that focuses on a group of employees and guests at a set of rental cottages. Unlike most of the shows on this list, The Guest Book features a semi-regular cast (including Charlie Robinson and Cary Gibson), but the focus in each episode is on a different out-of-town character staying in the quaint town of Mount Trace.

\r\nNaturally, HBO has thrown its hat into the anthology TV ring lately. Room 104 was created by Jay and Mark Duplass (of Togetherness fame). The series varies quite a bit in terms of tone and subject matter, with the one common thread being that every episode unfolds within the titular hotel room.

\r\nThe original Amazing Stories took its name from the science fiction magazine and told a variety of sci-fi and fantasy tales. The series attracted quite a bit of critical attention in the late \u002780s, thanks in part to the fact that it was overseen by none other than Steven Spielberg. And now Amazing Stories is being revived as part of Apple\u0027s push to enter the cutthroat streaming content business. Apple will team with Spielberg\u0027s Amblin Television, NBCUniversal and writer-producer Bryan Fuller (Hannibal) for the show, though at this point a release date is still unclear.”,”height”:1322,”width”:2352,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/amazing-stories-1515649662484.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/01\/11\/amazing-stories-1515649662484_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every Current and Upcoming TV Anthology Series”,”relativePosition”:”08″,”albumTotalCount”:10},{“caption”:”THE TWILIGHT ZONE\r\n
