...and it's weird

The first trailer has been released for Stephen Merchant's new American comedy series.

Dream Corp LLC is a surreal, psychedelic workplace comedy set in a dream therapy facility which mixes live action and animation, using various animation techniques.

Each week desperate patients have their dreams recorded and analysed by absent-minded professor, Dr. Roberts, played by Jon Gries (Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite), and his team of scientists.

Merchant is the executive producer along with John Krasinski, best known as Jim Halpert in the US version of The Office.

He also voices a robot, seen in one scene asking iPhone assistant Siri for 'places to dump a dead body near me'. Merchant previously provided a similar voice for the video game Portal 2.

Other stats include Nick Rutherford, Stephanie Allynne, Stephnie Weir, and 24's Mary Lynn Rajskub,

Dream Corp LLC debuts on Adult Swim at 11.45pm on Sunday, October 23
