You live. You love. You Die. Now RUN. ReMade is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that will take readers past the boundaries of time, space, and even death.

This is the 6th episode of ReMade, a 15-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode was written by Kiersten White.

Teddy, a teenage heart-throb and reality TV star, is used to being followed by cameras and waking up in strange beds with strange girls. But robot cameras with no operators, beds made of plastic, and girls that have no desire to be in bed with him? That he very unused to. Suddenly trapped in a weird alt-version of his own life – with a rare definitively non-fangirl – the teen star seeks questions, and a way out.

ReMade Season One: In one moment the lives of twenty-three teenagers are forever changed, and it’s not just because they all happen to die. “ReMade” in a world they barely recognize – one with robots, space elevators, and unchecked jungle – they must work together to survive. They came from different places, backgrounds, and families, and now they might be the last people on earth. Lost meets The Maze Runner in this exciting serial adventure.

Ratings and reviews

After that EXPLOSIVE Episode 5 ending, I could not WAIT to sink my BookDragon talons into Episode Six. While it unfortunately didn't pick up the second it left off, the entire season did take a very different turn. In fact, Episode Six is told from a POV we haven't even seen before - a reality TV Star names Teddy who's convinced that living in this world - which looks exactly like the set he lives in for the "reality" show but also is very different - is all in his head, and he's pretty much gotten all his genes from his father and goon CUCKOO. He's stranded with a girl who looks like his "girlfriend" on the "reality" show, one who just wants to go home and so they devise a plan. I really really love where this series is taking us, with each episode giving me MORE questions and VERY FEW answers, but it is so adrenaline filled, and the world builds a little more on itself every episode that I'm thoroughly enjoying every second of it. While this ending wasn't as bloodthirsty as Episode 5, it was still wonderful, connecting all the previous five episodes to this one in a way YOU CANNOT IMAGINE! After all, where does a reality TV star/ Jock fit into a post-apocalyptic world with barely any civilization? Despite have only a few pages in Teddy's POV, he has quickly become one of my favourite ReMade characters, and I CANNOT WAIT TO DIVE INTO SEVEN! EEEK!
