The House Between, an “independently produced (low budget) web sci-fi television series,” will debut it’s second season on 25 January. The series claims to be “one of the few science fiction web-series with an original premise, and not based on big, established franchises.” The re-vamped web site, featuring cast and crew spotlights and a two-minute season two trailer, is available at this link.
The eight original, half-hour episodes, will follow “five strangers who awaken one day to find themselves trapped inside a strange, empty house. These five diverse people struggle to get along with one another, find trust, and understand their odd predicament… all while they deal with a house where each new room represents a different mind-state, a different manifestation of their inner selves. The house understands their secrets, their guilts, their fears, their dreams, their nightmares. The house ‘at the end of the universe,’ as one character describes it, is utterly inescapable, and surrounded by a zone of blackness, of null space. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ripples in the void… creatures who lurk in the dark outside the house and are desperate to own that which the five strangers already have. Food. Heat. Light. Warmth. Life…”
The seven episodes of season one are still available on the site.
Creator John Kenneth Muir will appear on Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction on Friday 18 January to discuss the second season. Destinies host Howard Margolin lauded the show, saying “In the tradition of the original Twilight Zone and early Doctor Who, [it’s] a series that succeeds on the strength of the writing and the characters.”
