Filming continues in London for the anthology series Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams, with the episode “Impossible Planet” going into production this week.

Jack Reynor (Macbeth, Free Fire, Jungle Book) and Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange, The Martian, Top Boy), lead the cast of “Impossible Planet” as two disillusioned, disenchanted and indifferent space tourism employees who take up an elderly woman’s (Geraldine Chaplin, A Monster Calls, Doctor Zhivago) request for a trip back to Earth… the existence of which is a long-debunked myth. She appears easily confused, plus she’s rich – so, for the right payment, what’s the harm in indulging her fantasies? As the journey unfolds, however, their scam begins to eat away at them and they ultimately find themselves dealt a bittersweet surprise. 

Also featured in “Impossible Planet” are Justin Butcher (Let Me Go), BAFTA-winner Georgina Campell (Broadchurch, Flowers), Bekka Bowling (Loaded, Quacks), Christopher Staines (Wolf Hall, Mrs. Dalloway), and Malik Ibheis (Silent Witness).

Written and directed by David Farr (The Night Manager, Hanna, McMafia), the episode is based on the short story “The Impossible Planet” by Philip K. Dick.
