More information about “Bar Karma” is here. Set at a
mystical watering hole at the edge of the universe, “Bar
Karma” is a half-hour show which stars William
Sanderson (“True Blood,” “Lost,”
"Deadwood") as James, the 20,000 year-old bartender,
Matthew Humphreys (“Obsessed,”
“Big Love,” “The Forgotten”) as bar owner
DougJones, and Cassie Howarth (“Deranged
High,” “Deathclock”) as the lone waitress,
Dayna. The series answers the age-old question: “What
would happen if you could change your fate?” Set in a time
traveling bar owned and operated by members of the mysterious
organization Karma, Inc., each weekly episode follows a new bar
patron as they enter at happy hour and must make a
life-changing…and possibly world-saving …decision.”
