Whoopi Goldberg stars and executive produces the sci-fi miniseries "STREAM" for FEARnet.com. Goldberg plays the lead character, Jodi, trying to come to terms with her lifelong fears. Here we bring you the trailer for "STREAM", courtesy of the kind folks over at FEARnet.com. Stay tuned for exclusive clips from the series right here on BWW TV!
Spanning 6 episodes (each several minutes in length), the series stars Whoopi as Jodi Quinn, a woman who spends a lifetime wrestling with her personal demons and gathering the strength to face her worst fears. Thanks to a drug she took when she was seventeen, moments from various points in Jodi's life become intertwined, effectively letting her experience two moments at once. The story snaps back and forth through three phases of Jodi's life: her past as an intelligent but headstrong teen; her present in a psychiatric facility, and her future as an adult clinging to a normal life after years of tribulation.
This is the sixth original series for FEARnet, which is a joint venture between Comcast, Sony Pictures Television and Lionsgate. VOD is available on Comcast, Time Warner and Cox cable operators reports Variety.
