Whoopi Goldberg stars and executive produces the sci-fi miniseries "STREAM" for FEARnet.com. Goldberg plays the lead character, Jodi, trying to come to terms with her lifelong fears. Here we bring you the trailer for "STREAM", courtesy of the kind folks over at FEARnet.com. Stay tuned for exclusive clips from the series right here on BWW TV!

Spanning 6 episodes (each several minutes in length), the series stars Whoopi as Jodi Quinn, a woman who spends a lifetime wrestling with her personal demons and gathering the strength to face her worst fears. Thanks to a drug she took when she was seventeen, moments from various points in Jodi's life become intertwined, effectively letting her experience two moments at once. The story snaps back and forth through three phases of Jodi's life: her past as an intelligent but headstrong teen; her present in a psychiatric facility, and her future as an adult clinging to a normal life after years of tribulation.

This is the sixth original series for FEARnet, which is a joint venture between Comcast, Sony Pictures Television and Lionsgate. VOD is available on Comcast, Time Warner and Cox cable operators reports Variety.

Whoopi Goldberg is a name known by all as one of the world's premier comedians, film actress, stage actress and radio and television personality. In 2002, she became one of a very elite group of artists who have won the Grammy ("Whoopi Goldberg, 1985), the Academy Award ("Ghost, 1991), the Golden Globe ("The Color Purple, 1985 and "Ghost", 1991), the Emmy (as host of AMC's "Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel", 2002) and a Tony (Producer of "Thoroughly Modern Millie", 2002). She is equally well-known for her humanitarian efforts on behalf of children, the homeless, human rights, education, substance abuse and the battle against AIDS. This past June she hosted the 2008 Tony Awards for CBS and is currently moderator on the popular ABC talk show "The View". She starred in the Broadway productions of Xanadu and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Whoopi Goldberg will produce a West End version of her hit film Sister Act in 2009. Sister Act: The Musical has a gospel-tinged score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast), lyrics by Glenn Slater, and a book by Cheri and Bill Steinkellner (Princesses).
