NBC has released the first seven minutes of the series premiere of AWAKE. The network will premiere its intriguing new drama on Thursday, March 1 (10-11 p.m. ET), starring Jason Isaacs (
Harry Potter,
Brotherhood) as a detective who finds he is leading a complex double life that defies reality. The series will continue on Thursdays (10-11 p.m. ET).
From executive producers Kyle Killen (LONE STAR) and Howard Gordon (HOMELAND), AWAKE is an intriguing drama about Detective Michael Britten (Isaacs) who finds he’s living two parallel lives. He’s involved in a car accident that seems to have killed both his son (Dylan Minnette) and wife (Laura Allen, ALL MY CHILDREN), yet his mind creates an ingenious coping mechanism in which he now lives two separate lives – one where his wife survived and the other where his son did.
