Deadline report that AMC have announced the go ahead for sci-fi comedy drama, Demascus.

We do enjoy a laugh and don't mind mixing that with sci-fi.

Tell us more.

Demascus follows Demascus, a 33-year-old Black man on a mission of self-discovery and the burgeoning field of digital psychiatry that might be the key to defining his truest self. The series is a comedic, genre-fluid, coming-of-age story with a reality-bending premise that explores the gulf between Black male perspectives, while also attempting to answer Demascus’ personal question: “Who am I?”

So it sounds like it's in similar territory to Being Erica which was delightful.

Not space sci-fi but a bit "out there" metaphysically speaking.

The executive producer is Mark Johnson who has a very impressive work history but the one which leaps out is Galaxy Quest.

Has there been a more successful marriage of sci-fi and comedy?

Our expectations are through the roof.

Demascus is presently expected to release in 2023 on AMC and AMC+.

AMC+ is available in Australia as a subscription on the Apple TV and through Amazon Prime Video Channels and some AMC titles are also available on other streaming services.
