Amazon has landed U.S. rights to the anthology series \u201cPhilip K. Dick\u2019s Electric Dreams\u201d from Sony Pictures Television, producer Bryan Cranston and \u201cOutlander\u201d showrunner Ronald D. Moore.<\/p>\n

The series was set up last May by Sony TV and Anonymous Content with the U.K.\u2019s Channel 4. The 10-episode drama will feature adaptations of works by the revered science fiction author, who penned the story that inspired 1982\u2019s \u201cBlade Runner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dee Rees, writer-director of HBO\u2019s \u201cBessie\u201d and this year\u2019s Sundance favorite \u201cMudbound,\u201d has been recruited to write one of the episodes. Other scribes on board include Tony Grisoni (\u201cFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u201d), Jack Thorne (\u201cHarry Potter and the Cursed Child\u201d) Matthew Graham (\u201cLife on Mars\u201d), David Farr (\u201cThe Night Manager\u201d) and Travis Beacham (\u201cPacific Rim\u201d). Moore and fellow executive producer Michael Dinner (\u201cJustified\u201d) are also set to write.<\/p>\n

\u201cElectric Dreams\u201d hails from Cranston\u2019s Sony-based Moon Shot Entertainment banner. The \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d star is expected to appear in at least one episode of the series.<\/p>\n

Cranston is exec producing the series along with Moore, Dinner, Maril Davis of Moore\u2019s Tall Ship Productions,\u00a0James Degus of Moon Shot; Isa Dick Hackett, Kalen Egan, and Christopher Tricarico of Electric Shepherd Productions; David Kanter and Matt DeRoss of Anonymous Content; and Left Bank Pictures\u2019 Lila Rawlings and Marigo Kehoe.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word yet on a premiere date. \u201cElectric Dreams\u201d is among a growing number of high-profile series projects from U.S. studios to be developed and sold first with an overseas network before landing a domestic outlet.<\/p>\n

Cranston is building up his roster as a producer. Last month, Amazon launched the well-received caper drama \u201cSneaky Pete,\u201d which also hails from Moon Shot and Sony TV.<\/p>\n
