Set in Merced, California, fifteen minutes into the future, Dont Look Deeper centers on a high school senior who cant seem to shake the feeling that something about her just isnt right. And that something is shes not human not one of us. This revelation of what she really is, where she comes from, and who has started looking for her, sets in motion a series of events that suddenly puts her entire life in jeopardy.

Quibi is streaming services that made its debut in April and offers users programming in quick bites with episodes under 10 minutes in length and framed to fit a mobile screen, both in horizontal and vertical orientations. While the services started as a mobile exclusive service, it was announced in May that Quibi would be adding the ability for subscribers with iPhones to cast to their TVs with Android users getting the same ability soon after.

Despite some challenges, including low engagement numbers, Quibi co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg previously said hes still optimistic about the platform.

Im still quite optimistic this is gonna work, Katzenberg told a virtual version of SeriesFest, an annual TV festival. When the country opens up we are all going to be back on the go again. The difference is, is that we are going to be waiting on line for more things than ever before We are going to be waiting like crazy, and I hope Quibi is there to keep you entertained.
