A sobering 1970s British drama about survival and human bonds in the aftermath of civilizational collapse, balancing existential weight with modest hope for rebuilding.

Survivors is a British post-apocalyptic fiction television series devised by Terry Nation and produced by Terence Dudley at the BBC from 1975 to 1977. It concerns the plight of a group of people who have survived an accidentally released plague – referred to as "The Death" – that kills nearly the entire human population of the planet.
