What is Command Z about?

Command Z is a science fiction comedy web series that presents an eclectic mix of humor and temporal adventures. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the series comprises eight episodes, which together form a composite runtime of approximately 90 minutes. The story follows a group of employees who are given the task of a lifetime by their employer, a scientist, to undertake a 'historic' mission with the goal of traveling back in time to revise history and save the world from an undisclosed calamity. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of the characters, including Kerning Fealty, played by Michael Cera, the skittish lead employee, Sam, portrayed by Roy Wood Jr., the level-headed team member, and a future incarnation of Kerning Fealty, depicted by Kevin Pollak. The cast also features Chloe Radcliffe, JJ Maley, Liev Schreiber, Zoe Winters, Laura Seay, Catherine Curtin, Stavros Halkias, Mike Houston, Will Brill, and Mike Birbiglia in varied roles, adding depth and dimension to the show's comedic take on science fiction. With its unique blend of satire and time travel shenanigans, Command Z provides a fresh take on the genre. The show was independently financed by Soderbergh and shot between other film projects in New York, notably drawing inspiration from the themes presented in Kurt Andersen's book 'Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History.'

The first episode of Command Z aired on July 17, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on July 17, 2023.
