The Department of Midnight – Check out the trailer for the new audio drama from Warren Ellis, starring James Callis, Alicia Witt, Carla Gugino and more

Watch the trailer for The Department Of Midnight. A new audio drama from the producers of Castlevania.

Best-selling author Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority) blends science fiction, folklore and horror in this dramatic mystery series.

Dark matter makes up 85% of the universe. Recent scientific theory suggests dark matter is information – a fifth form of matter – and that we can wake it up. But waking it up can let dark things out.

James Callis is Dr. John Carnack. Five years ago, his dark matter experiments led to tragedy. His redemption is working for the Department of Midnight, investigating dangerous dark matter experiments, trying to prevent further disasters.

But there’s a pattern. And it all leads back to him.

The Department of Midnight stars James Callis, Alicia Witt, Gildart Jackson, Nolan North, Brett Dalton, Adrianne Palicki and Carla Gugino.

The Department Of Midnight is produced by Warren Ellis, Brian Gucciardo, Kevin and Diane Kolde and Fred Seibert.

Experience it August 20th. Check out the official site.
