Back in March ’11 and later in May of that year, I told you about Awake, a new show ordered up from NBC. It looks like it will be premiering pretty soon.
Awake will premiere on Thursday, March 1st at 10 p.m.. It stars Jason Isaacs as “a police detective who’s involved in a traumatic car accident and wakes up in two fractured realities.”
His life is now torn between two realities. In one, his wife survived the accident & his son did not. In the other reality, it’s the other way around. When he goes to sleep in one reality, he’ll wake up in the other.
The catch is that it’s very difficult to define whicn of these realities is real. (And some wonder, if either one will turn out real.)

What awesome news for Parenthood fans… While NBC has ordered a few new shows, (Awake, Playboy Club, Grimm) they’ve left room to renew a few good solid standbys.
The shows renewed are Parenthood and Harry’s Law. Both great solid entertainment venues.
What I’m extremely curious and looking forward to is the show called Awake.
Formerly known as REM, Awake is about a detective, played by Jason Isaacs. After an accident, his life is split into two different realities. In one reality, his wife survives the accident while his son dies. In the other reality, his son survives.
The real catch is that these realities are hard to define. Which one is real and which one isn’t. He goes to sleep in one, there he is in a different one. Other things are also a bit different in the two realities. It really does sound interesting to me and I look forward to it.
It’s written by Kyle Killen and exec produced by Howard Gordon (24).
