Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

MGM+ has released the trailer and art for their new SF series Earth Abides, which starts on 1 December.

When a plague of unprecedented virulence sweeps the globe, the human race is all but wiped out. In the aftermath, as the great machine of civilization slowly and inexorably breaks down, only a few shattered survivors remain to struggle against the slide into extinction. The series is based on George R. Stewart’s classic sci-fi novel of the same name.

“It has been an absolute thrill to adapt George Stewart’s sci fi classic. And an even greater honour to deliver a show that is custom built for our moment in history. Because amidst all the wild adventure and story twists and turns, Earth Abides provides proof that the one way forward for humanity is… love,” noted Todd Komarnicki, Executive Producer/Writer/Showrunner

The series stars Alexander Ludwig, Jessica Frances Dukes, Aaron Tveit, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, Elyse Levesque, Luisa D’Oliveira, Birkett Turton, Hilary McCormack and Jenna Berman.
