(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced that its new sci-fi
anthology series Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams will premiere on
Friday, January 12, exclusively on Prime Video. Based on various
writings from author Philip K. Dick, each of the ten standalone
episodes are set in a different and unique world – some which lay
in the far reaches of the universe, and others which are much
closer to home. While the stories may be worlds apart, central to
each is the poignant and warm exploration of the importance and
significance of humanity. From five to 5000 years in the future,
each compelling tale will both illustrate Philip K. Dick's
prophetic vision and celebrate the enduring appeal of the prized
sci-fi novelist’s work. Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams will be
available as a Prime Exclusive Series in the U.S., as well as in
select territories globally, including Germany, India, Italy,
Japan, Latin America, Spain and Turkey, among others. Dick’s Emmy
award-winning The Man in the High Castle, the most-watched scripted
series in the history of Prime Video, will begin its third season
in 2018.

writers and directors, including Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar
Galactica, Outlander), Michael Dinner (Justified, Sneaky Pete),
