Deadline has reported that Jessica Lu (Awkward) and  Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes) have landed series regular roles opposite  in NBC’s drama pilot Reverie, from the Extant team of creator Mickey Fisher and Amblin TV.

Reverie is described as a grounded and dramatic thriller about Mara (Shahi), a former detective specializing in human behavior who is brought in when the launch of an advanced virtual reality program has dangerous and unintended consequences.

Lu will play Alexis Barrett, who has started her own company, Reverie, based on her own fully immersible, customizable virtual reality program, in which clients can have the virtual reality experience of their lives via a simple neural transmitter. Working with security advisor Charlie Ventana and several investors, Alexis is very proud of her program but has to do some damage control when some initial users have become reluctant to return to their reality, and their unused bodies have gone comatose.

Ramamurthy will play Paul Hammond, who works with Alexis on the Reverie project as the Chief Oneirologist, or dream specialist; he designs the factory presets and training levels for the users of the Reverie fully immersible, customizable VR program.

Reverie is produced by Amblin/Universal TV for NBC. Jaume Collet-Serra is directing. Mickey Fisher is showrunner.
