Fall into ‘Warren’s Vortex’

New sci-fi comedy series Warren’s Vortex, edited by DEGANZ board member Martin Brinkler and fellow member Alex Boyd, is out now on TVNZ+.

The show was created by the team behind Wellington Paranormal and shares a similar humour and tone to the police mockumentary. In this series, Warren’s typical suburban life is turned upside down when his teenage daughter, Lucy, is sucked into an interdimensional portal in his shed, and he leaps in after her, traversing alternate Lower Hutt realities.

So far, only two episodes have been released, with four more set to follow. In episode one, Warren and Lucy land in an alternate reality where intelligent refrigerators have taken over the world. The next episode sees them transported to a world where every Kiwi backyard is a reality TV competition with raised stakes.

You can find Warren’s Vortex on TVNZ+ with new episodes dropping on Sundays at 7pm.
