The half-hour anthology series created and hosted by B.J. Novak, "The Premise" is described as a collection of character-driven stories that challenge our shared morality tales, choosing art over argument, as it engages with the most relevant and meaningful issues of the modern era.

The series grounds daring comedic premises with equally daring dramatic performances. Guns, identity, social justice, sex, capitalism, revenge, love, fame, social media, butt plugs - nothing is off limits. A high-wire combination of topics and talent, "The Premise" establishes a new tone for a new time - the age of the unprecedented, bringing the stories we text about privately into the open.
