"It's Inception meets Weird Science, with kind of an X-Files shift."

That's how actor Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks) describes Crunch Time, the new Rooster Teeth series coming to RoosterTeeth.com on Sept. 11.

Rooster Teeth, the Austin-based production company behind hits such as Red vs. Blue, gave Mashable a sneak peek at the featurette (above) and stills (below) from the show.

The six-episode live action comedy follows four "brilliant jackass grad students" as they are interrogated by government operatives at the brink of the end of the world — and the apocalypse is their fault.

"After using reckless 'cutting-edge' science for their own petty purposes, this ragtag team creates a small but potentially world-ending black hole in their college lab," according to the series description. "The clock is ticking for this secret government agency to clean up the mess these 'wannabe scientists' have made. With cooperation, the crisis could be averted before the world goes to shit. The problem?"

Levine stars alongside Nick Rutherford (Good Neighbor), Jessy Hodges (Grey’s Anatomy), Avery Monsen (High Maintenance), Brent Morin (How to Be Single), Michael Hyatt (Night Crawler), Kirk Johnson (Lazer Team), and Burnie Burns (Lazer Team).

Rooster Teeth was founded in 2003 and in 2014 was acquired by the digital entertainment company Fullscreen.

Since then, the company has attracted more than 20 million subscribers to its YouTube channels, as well as 3 million unique monthly visitors to the RoosterTeeth.com hub and 1.8 million registered community members.
