Actor, writer, show-creator, and director, Segel wore many creative hats in order to get this show made. Taking on the lead role on a show a big responsibility - and a new one for Segel - but acting in Dispatches From Elsewhere was just one of the many tasks the actor set out for himself. Jason Segel had an artistic identity crisis, and it partially inspired the show Here are five things to know about Dispatches from Elsewhere, according to Segel and Friedman, ahead of the show’s premiere on March 1, 2020. Later that day, Mark Friedman, the Dispatches showrunner, sat down with Inverse to help explain what the heck is going on in AMC's surreal new series. The How I Met Your Mother alumni joined the show's core cast in shedding some light on the quirky project. 'There’s a lot of things we do throughout the season that are just kind of a call to wake up, for all of us,' Segel said during a panel at the 2020 Television Critics Association winter tour in January.

As the mystery unfolds, a bizarre new reality - which was apparently hiding right behind the veil of their mundane everyday lives - begins to present itself. The 10-episode story follows four characters and the immersive alternate reality game that connects them.
