A Dream of Thousand Cats tells the story of a cat who becomes disillusioned after witnessing a brutal murder. She then embarks on a journey with Dream. It’s to be an animation with Hisko Hulsing at the helm. The voice cast includes big names – Sandra Oh, Rosie Day, David Gyasi, James McAvoy, David Tennant, Michael Sheen, and Tom Wu. The second part of the bonus episode is a tale about a writer who is experiencing writer’s block after delivering a best-selling novel. In a desperate attempt, he cuts a deal with an entity to find the spark to write again. Louise Hopper is directing Calliope, which stars Melissanthi Mahut, Arthur Darvill, Amita Suman, Kevin Harvey, And Derek Jacobi.
