Dimension 404 is an American science fiction black comedy anthology series[1] created by Desmond "Dez" Dolly and Will Campos, and co-created by Dan Johnson and David Welch. It began airing on April 4, 2017 on the streaming service Hulu. The series is produced by RocketJump and Lionsgate Television. The series is heavily inspired by The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. Its title is taken from the 1950s radio program Dimension X and the HTTP status code 404, which signifies an error due to a webpage not being found.
The six-episode anthology was ordered to series at Hulu in February 2016, with Dolly taking on the role of showrunner.[2] Freddie Wong, Matthew Arnold, and Dolly were also reported to serve as executive producers on the series, as well as undertaking directing duties for individual episodes.[3] Each episode was planned to be an hour in length, and tell individual stories.
On June 8, 2016, it was announced that Lea Michele and Robert Buckley would headline the first episode of the series, and Ryan Lee would take the lead role in a different and unrelated episode.[4] On June 14, 2016, Joel McHale joined the cast to star alongside Michele and Buckley in the first episode, and Sarah Hyland was cast in a leading role in a separate episode.[5] That same month, Patton Oswalt joined to star alongside Hyland, Ashley Rickards was cast to lead a separate episode, and Sterling Beaumon joined to co-star opposite Lee.[6] That same month, Megan Mullally and Constance Wu were cast to appear in the same episode.[7] In July 2016, Lorenza Izzo, Daniel Zovatto, and Tom Noonan joined the cast of the series, with Izzo appearing in a separate episode, Zovatto appearing opposite Hyland, and Noonan appearing opposite Wu and Mullally.[8] On March 21, 2017, it was announced that Mark Hamill narrates the series.[9]
Filming for the series began in June 2016.[10]
