This convention-defying sci-fi comedy series featuring Martin Lawrence, thrillingly exploring identity in the digital age, almost didn’t see the light of day. Shelved by cash-strapped studio AMC in 2023, “Demascus” was recently saved from obscurity by streaming service Tubi. That means, as we explain in depth below, that audiences can watch “Demascus” online absolutely FREE now – and from anywhere with a VPN.
All six episodes of "Demascus" arrive Thursday, August 7.
• U.S. – Tubi
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
Executive produced by Mark Johnson (“Breaking Bad”) and created by playwright Tearrance Chisholm (FX drama “Clipped”), this six-part Tubi Original series charts the mind-bending odyssey of 33-year-old Demascus (played by Okieriete Onaodowan).
Feeling utterly disconnected from himself, he signs up for an experimental, “digital immersive reality therapy” that allows him to explore the many potential versions of his life that exist. What’s the worst that could happen? “Brain death” his therapist Dr. Bonnetville (Janet Hubert) warns him. “Or just death period.”
Reminiscent of anthology series “Black Mirror” and Netflix’s “They Cloned Tyronne”, and starring comedy icon Martin Lawrence ( “Bad Boys”), Caleb Eberhardt (“Judas and the Black Messiah”), and Shakira Ja'nai Paye (2023’s “House Party”) alongside Onaodowan, “Demascus” looks to take viewers on a wild, genre-blending ride: one full of heart, humour, and that Tubi describes as exploring “the gulf between Black male perspectives.”
