Check out the trailer for Earth Abides, which premieres December 1 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on MGM+. In the series, 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.

Todd Komarnicki, the Executive Producer, Writer, and Showrunner, says:

“It has been an absolute thrill to adapt George Stewart’s sci fi classic. And an even greater honor 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.”
