David Bowie is at it again, and with just a little more than a month after his death, the iconic artist is continuing to break boundaries.

Bowie released his final album, “★” (pronounced “Blackstar”) on Jan 8, just two days before he passed. Since then fans have received several surprises and now “★” will receive a series of 16 short videos via Instagram that will “take the audience on a journey of evocative images inspired by the moods suggested in the album’s music, lyrics and artwork,”

Appropriately named “Unbound: A★ InstaMiniSeries,” Bowie allowed creators of InstaMiniSeries to hear his new album prior to his death in order to create the series.

“In light of recent events, this project has taken on new significance for all of us – cast and crew.” Said producer Lawrence Peryer. “We are very happy to be bringing a new creative work to David’s fans worldwide at a time when a focus on his music and art is much-needed.”

The series, directed by Carolynn Cecilia and Nikki Borges, will star various artists including Patricia Clarkson. The 16-episode mini series will debut on instagram on Thursday, February 25 at 8 P.M. and will air Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

“UNBOUND: A ★ InstaMiniSeries” In the Fall of 2015, David Bowie gave us unique pre-release access to the music from ★ (pronounced ‘Blackstar’), his 28th studio album, allowing us to create our own visual interpretations of his songs, with no limits or preconditions on his part. Completed in December 2015, UNBOUND: A★InstaMiniSeries takes the audience on a journey of evocative images inspired by the moods suggested in the album’s music, lyrics and artwork. Each episode of the series is sure to capture the imaginations of all who experience it and will undoubtedly lead to endless speculation and discussion of meaning, metaphor and intention. We are honored to have had this opportunity and hope you’ll join our 16 episode series, premiering February 25th. New episode every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
