Warren's Vortex: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

A father and daughter are swept into a multi-dimensional vortex, embarking on a hilariously twisted journey through alternate realities as they try to find their way back home.

An average Kiwi house. On an average Kiwi street. In an average Kiwi suburb. With an average Kiwi inter-dimensional vortex in the garden shed.

Warren uses his garden wormhole to dispose of grass clippings and household waste. That is until his daughter Lucy falls in and Warren jumps in to rescue her. Father and daughter must now traverse different realities, featuring sentient refrigerators, lethal reality shows, never-ending murder mysteries, and a world where rugby was never invented – and hopefully, find a way home.
