Cell: The Web Series is an Austin, Texas-based science fiction/drama web series which debuted Feb 03, 2010 on Koldcast.tv.[1] Cell: The Web Series is about a man wakes up in a cell after a night on the town. When he realizes he’s not in jail and he’s not alone, he fights to stay who he is while helping someone else remember who they were.[2]

After streaming exclusively on Koldcast.tv for over a year, CELL recently expanded its streaming hosts to include Blip.TV as well as YouTube. Because of earlier restrictions placed on the length of content on YouTube, not all episodes could be streamed through the service. After YouTube expanded the time allowed for episodes, the entire first season was placed on YouTube.
