In addition to Swim giving the go ahead to a new Jon Glaser pilot, they have also ordered a pilot Exec Produced by John Krasinski (a.k.a.: Jim Halpert from NBC’s “The Office”).
Here are some deets via Deadline:
The project stars Lost alum Jon Gries. It is set at Dream Corp LLC, an experimental therapy facility that creates a virtual reality for patients to confront issues in their waking life by simulating their wildest dreams. Guided by the eccentric Dr. Roberts (Gries), a team of unique scientists document and conduct their research that hasn’t been funded since 1992. Like a poorly maintained carnival ride, the program has developed some questionable kinks throughout the years. The patients change from week to week, but despite the advice of their loved ones and their own instincts, they keep coming back.
“Dream Corp LLC” is Exec Produced by Krasinski as well as Daniel Stessen.
