Premise

In a world where everyone can see the same countdown — a visible number above every person, ticking toward a single date: 13 April 2029 — When Time Comes follows ordinary people making extraordinary choices. It is not about the deadline. It is about what you do before it arrives. The timers were always there. Humanity just wasn't looking. An anchor date — 11 March 2011 — ties 147 documented anomalies together.

Format

A psychological / philosophical anthology drama. One ~30-minute episode per day, 1,015 episodes over 13 seasons and 3 years. Contemplative, not action-driven. The core question of each episode is a moral choice, not a plot twist. English-language, YouTube-first with distribution across 8 platforms. Subtitles and localised metadata in the same 14 languages. AI-first production with a Painterly + Atmospheric visual style reminiscent of Arcane and Dishonored.

Audience

English-speaking viewers (US, Canada, Australia, UK), aged 22–45. People who watch slowly, re-watch, and discuss. Comparable in tone to The Last of Us (emotional engagement), Black Mirror (anthology + moral weight), and the theory culture of Game Theory.

Sample episode loglines
