If you fall asleep, you die—that’s the basic premise of “The Edge of Sleep.” This gripping science-fiction horror series is often overlooked, but it shouldn’t be. It needs to be added to your “must-see” list right now.
This nail-biting show stars Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach, reprising his role from the hit audio drama, alongside Lio Tipton (Crazy Stupid Love), Eve Harlow (“Watson,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), and Franz Drameh (“The Flash,” “Legends of Tomorrow”).
What’s It About?
The story kicks off with two night watchmen. The men make a horrifying discovery: everyone around them has mysteriously died in their sleep.
One of the night watchmen, Dave (Fischbach), must race to find his former lover, Katie (Tipton), before she succumbs to the strange, fatal affliction. As they desperately search for answers, they encounter a nurse in a hospital (Harlow), adding another layer to the chilling mystery that unfolds in this visually stunning series.
A Must See
Filmed primarily in Vancouver in 2021, the series expands upon the popular audio drama of the same name, which was adapted for a novel in 2023.
