Calls (TV series)

Calls is an American mystery thriller anthology streaming television series created by Fede Álvarez. It premiered on Apple TV+ on March 19, 2021. The series is based on the French audio series of the same name created by Timothée Hochet.

The series uniquely presents its narratives entirely through audio recordings, with on-screen visuals consisting of abstract waveforms, sound visualizations, and minimalist animations that accompany the voices. Each episode presents a seemingly disconnected phone call or audio event that gradually reveals interconnected storylines exploring themes of reality, perception, and the potential for disastrous consequences from seemingly insignificant events.

The cast includes a range of well-known voice actors across its nine episodes. The episodes vary in length and focus, but all contribute to a larger, overarching mystery that unfolds throughout the season. Calls has been described as an experimental and innovative approach to storytelling, utilizing the audio medium to create suspense and intrigue.
