“Will & Grace’s” Megan Mullally and “Fresh off the Boat’s” Constance Wu have been cast in Hulu’s “Dimension 404,” plus more in today’s TV news roundup…

CASTING

Megan Mullally and Constance Wu have been cast in Hulu’s upcoming sci-fi anthology series “Dimension 404.”

Inspired by the internet’s “404” error code, “Dimension 404” from RocketJump and Lionsgate aims to evoke that 3 a.m. feeling of wandering onto the weird side of the web, stumbling upon stories that cannot be explained in the world that we know. Each episode will explore a different bizarre mystery, including an obscure cartoon that may hold the secret to time travel or energy drinks perhaps causing a global apocalypse.

Mullally and Wu join previously announced cast members including Lea Michele, Robert Buckley, Ryan Lee, Sarah Hyland, Joel McHale, Ashley Rickards and Patton Oswalt. The growing cast will appear in different episodes with Mullally and Wu starring together.

Mullally will play Director Stevens, a hardened, no-nonsense military commander who oversees a top-secret, cutting-edge NSA project tasked to fight terrorism. Wu will play Jane, a military psychologist on active duty, who wants nothing more than to spend Christmas leave with her wife and daughter, however, the U.S. government cancels her plans and re-assigns her to a much more vital task: help the NSA’s unusual but most valued agent overcome his performance issues in order to stop a deadly terrorist attack. Both actors are repped by UTA.
