YouTuber Freddie Wong has announced yet another partnership with Hulu -- this time on a scripted series entitled Dimension 404. The announcement arrives on the heels of RocketJump: The Show -- an unscripted look behind the scenes at Wong’s production company that debuted exclusively on Hulu in December.
Dimension 404, also created in partnership with Lionsgate, “will explore the wonders and horrors of the digital age,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The title references the ‘404’ Internet page error code and will reportedly explore questions including, “What if an obscure cartoon held the secret to time travel?” and “What if energy drinks caused the apocalypse?”
While RocketJump: The Show comprised eight, half-hour episodes, Dimension 404 will feature a 6-episode arch, each of which is an hour long.

Hulu's "RocketJump: The Show" offers a unique look at the world of film production: Each week, the young team of the RocketJump production company can be seen hard at work creating an original short film, and grappling with the difficulties of, say, working with horses for a "Fast and the Furious"/Western mash-up, or flipping a school bus end over end. For those who love the nitty-gritty of filmmaking, it's a candid look at the process, executed with a lot of humor and heart thanks to the team headed up by YouTube veterans Freddie Wong, Matt Arnold and Desmond Dolly.

After months of teasers, trailers, and production updates, RocketJump: The Show is here. The Hulu series, which goes behind the scenes of the titular production company, has shared the first two of its eight episodes.
In its simplest form, RocketJump: The Show is an inside look at the creation of eight new short films from a preeminent digital media studio. As we learned from the series’ trailer, this process involves its fair share of challenges, struggles, and creative squabbles. Sure enough, the first episode--which focuses on a short described as “a western horserace in the style of the Fast & the Furious”--spends as much time unraveling the dynamics of the RocketJump operation (led by Freddie Wong and Matt Arnold) as it does showing off the completed product.
The first episode of RocketJump: The Show is available for free from the series’ official Hulu page.

Inside a nondescript warehouse in Glendale, a crowd of people stands grouped around a monitor, watching it intently. A fight sequence -- occurring live on the other side of a wall -- plays out in black and white onscreen. Meanwhile, a cameraman moves unobtrusively around the group, filming the crew as they, in turn, film the fight sequence. When director Freddie Wong yells "Cut! Reset," the sounds of laughing and joking immediately fill the space as the crew jumps into action.

Last summer, HitFix Harpy caught up with Freddie Wong at Sdcc to talk about his upcoming collaboration between his production company RocketJump and Hulu. Since then, the fruits of that labor have come to pass in the form of RocketJump: The Show. Teaming up with Lionsgate Television, RocketJump created eight full episodes for Hulu, each dealing with a different genre. From the Wild West to fan fiction and beyond, each week the show will produce a short film and invite viewers to deep dive into the process of making movies. Even a small-scale production is a group effort that takes untold hours to produce the finished product. HitFix Harpy got an exclusive look at the short film produced “Fan Friction” produced for “RocketJump: The Show.” In the clip above, two friends team up to make an Au (Alternate Reality) where Sherlock Holmes and Dracula must fight for Malcolm Reynolds using mythology from Star Wars.
