I just found out they've already aired the first two.
Umney's Last Case
Starring William H. Macy, Jacqueline McKenzie
After the death of his son, writer Sam Landry (Macy) is so desperate to lead another life, he writes himself into his own book, forcing his long-time character (also played by Macy) to change places with him and live in the modern day. But things get deadly when Landry realizes Umney is trapped and cannot write himself out of his new reality.
The End of the Whole Mess
Starring Ron Livingston, Henry Thomas
The world had changed. Violence, war and hatred have been replaced with kindness, peace and love. But at what price? Renowned filmmaker Howie Fornoy (Livingston), with just one hour to live, recounts the details of his brother's (Thomas) worldwide experiment gone terribly wrong.
I don't usually watch made for tv horror (remember The Shining remake
)
but this anthology formula could work.
