Between
Created by Michael McGowan
A bleak survival drama where isolation and disease strip away civilization, leaving young survivors to navigate power, mortality, and the collapse of the adult world.
Between is the story of a town under siege from a mysterious disease that has wiped out everybody except those 21 years old and under. The series explores the power vacuum that results when a government has quarantined a 10-mile diameter area and left the inhabitants to fend for themselves.
