George Takei Reveals Teaser For New Web Series ‘It Takeis Two’

George Takei is back with a new web series. The activist and ex-Star Trek actor will take viewers behind-the-scenes of his life with husband Brad in the series It Takeis Two, premiering on April 7, 2015.

Entertainment Weekly reported on the Takeis’ upcoming show, self-described as a “heightened reality” series. George and Brad will show viewers what it’s like to live their very unusual daily lives, complete with everything from jetpacks to human hamster balls.

In the debut episode, dubbed “Seriously?!”, George tries to get his husband to embrace the craziness of the internet after Brad freaks out about a meme of himself and tries to expunge it from across the digital world. The theme of the first It Takeis Two episode is fitting, as George is a social media whiz. The ex-Star Trek actor boasts over 8.4 million likes on his Facebook page, as well as 1.6 million followers on Twitter.

“After the release of [the feature-length documentary] To Be Takei

, fans clamored for more from Brad and me,” Takei told EW. “The web series It Takeis Two gives Brad a place in the spotlight and a platform on which to complain. That alone makes it worth it to me. So while we won’t be taking fans into ‘outer space’ (that was an April’s Fools prank), we will be ‘spacing out’ our lives for the fans through these webisodes. We hope many fans tune in regularly.”

Takei is definitely no stranger to the world of web series. Back in 2013, Takei teamed up with Fullscreen and Portal A to host the AARP-branded web series Takei’s Take, all about explaining modern technology and online media trends to young and old viewers alike. The show’s dedicated YouTube channel currently boasts over 100,000 subscribers.

You can catch the first episode of the Takeis’ new web series on April 7 on George’s YouTube channel.
