Terrence Howard has signed on to star in the Channel 4 (UK) and Amazon Studios 10-episode sci-fi anthology series “Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams,” in the episode titled “Real Life” which is written by Ronald D. Moore (“Outlander,” “Battlestar Galactica”) and directed by Jeffrey Reiner (“The Affair,” “Fargo,” “12 Monkeys”).
