Earth Abides
Created by Todd Komarnicki
On MGM+
A contemplative post-apocalyptic miniseries that treats extinction as an elegiac, slow-motion collapse rather than a spectacle, grounded in the interior lives of survivors.
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.
