[REDACTED] S1E1: False Start (Part 1)—--------------Introducing [REDACTED]; from Athan (The Grotto) and Jamie Petronis (The Cellar Letters)Following the death of his twin, failing actor Jacob Kane assumes his late-brother’s life in hopes of a fresh start. Instead of finding stability, Jacob finds himself working within The [REDACTED] Unit, a covert agency tasked with containing impossible creatures and phenomena. As he becomes entangled with paranormal forces and secret agendas, Jacob begins to discover a sense of belonging in a place he never expected.Equal parts horror and workplace satire, [REDACTED] takes inspiration from late 90s & early 2000s television like procedural monster-of-the-week shows X-files & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the classic ensemble banter of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Psych.Visit our website: https://theredactedunit.com/Join the discussion: http://theredactedunit.com/discord[REDACTED] S1E1: False Start (Part 1)Jacob Kane makes a big life changeStarring:Jamie Petronis as Jacob KaneAthan as Eli ReyesDan Morris as The Strict ProducerJeffrey Reddick as The Anxious ScreenwriterKaren Neat as ServerJames Spurney as as Phil (Landlord)Nathan Lundsford as Jordan KaneHarlan Guthrie as ■■■Zoe D.
