EXCLUSIVE: Andie MacDowell is set for a key supporting role opposite Tye Sheridan in Wireless, a survival thriller for Quibi that’s exec produced by Steven Soderbergh. Lukas Gage, Francesca Reale and Mace Coronel also have joined the cast in recurring roles.

Created and exec produced by newcomers Zach Wechter and Jack Seidman (Pocket), the series follows a self-obsessed college student (Sheridan) stranded in the Colorado mountains whose only hope for survival is the tool he has spent his whole life learning to use: his smartphone. Wireless is a survival thriller set inside the car he crashed and the quickly dying phone that now is his lifeline.
