A Talk to Me<\/strong> spinoff series is coming in immersive 3D, Variety<\/a> has learned.<\/p>\n

Meta is teaming up with XRTV, a new immersive storytelling venture from the founders of Crypt TV, for the currently-untitled live action series.<\/p>\n

Described as \u201cEuphoria\u201d with possession, it will follow a group of young travelers chasing the ultimate party on a European island until they discover the Hand, a supernatural high deadlier than any drug.<\/p>\n

The series is being created exclusively for Meta headsets and shot fully in 3D. It will harness cutting-edge mixed reality technology to map viewers\u2019 environments and immerse them in the story.<\/p>\n

All six half-hour episodes will be written by Trent Atherton<\/strong> and directed by Craig William Macneill<\/strong> (\u201cThem,\u201d \u201cChannel Zero\u201d).<\/p>\n

Talk to Me creators Danny & Michael Philippou<\/strong> will executive produce alongside Darren Brandl and Jack Davis for XRTV, Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton for Causeway Films, Andreas Michael Wentz and Juan Antonio Cano Trujillo for Sur Film, and Jeff Rich producing for Meta.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe promise of XR is this idea that we can now map the story into your own space so you feel like you\u2019re inside it,\u201d said Brandl. \u201cIt\u2019s a big leap past the previous 3D and immersive shows we\u2019ve produced, because now, the canvas is your living room. Its superpower is presence: that awe of being transported, the unsettling feeling that a demon is with you \u2014 in your room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brandl continued, \u201cTalk to Me is the perfect immersive IP because it\u2019s about young adults who seek the Hand to experience the euphoria of possession but end up tormented by breaking through to the spirit world. It made possession fun, and the scares unforgettable. Maybe we\u2019re crazy, but we\u2019re betting you\u2019re going to want to feel possessed too, and with Meta\u2019s new technology, we think for the first time you\u2019ll believe it!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis groundbreaking technology is opening up new frontiers and we are delighted to be working with world leaders Meta and XRTV,\u201d added Jennings and Ceyton. \u201cThe concept of Talk to Me is perfectly suited to the exciting possibilities of new kinds of immersive storytelling and we can\u2019t wait to see the results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Released in 2022, Talk to Me follows a group of friends who discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand. They become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Talk to Me spinoff series is coming in immersive 3D, Variety has learned.
