'Joan Is Awful'
Directed by Feel Good's Ally Pankiw, 'Joan Is Awful' follows an average woman (played by Schitt’s Creek star Annie Murphy) who discovers a global streaming platform has launched a prestige TV drama based on her life.

Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett's episode 'Beyond the Sea' seems the most out there of the new bunch. It's set in an alternate 1969 where two men on a high-tech mission have to deal with the consequences of an unimaginable tragedy. Kate Mara, Auden Thornton, and Rory Culkin also star in this one, which is directed by Brooklyn and The Goldfinch helmer John Crowley.

Stranger Things director Uta Briesewitz directs 'Mazey Day', which is led by Joker star Zazie Beetz. The synopsis details on this one are pretty light but we do know Beetz will be playing a troubled starlet. She's being hounded by invasive paparazzi as she deals with the consequences of a hit-and-run incident. I Am Mother's Clara Rugaard and Top Gun: Maverick's Danny Ramirez also star.
'Demon 79'

The only episode to not be entirely written by Brooker is 'Demon 79' as Ms. Marvel's head writer Bisha K. Ali also pens the script. Set in the north of England in 1979, this episode follows a meek sales assistant who is forced to commit terrible acts to try and prevent an imminent disaster. Andor's lead director Toby Haynes has helmed this one.
