Extinct
Created by Orson Scott Card
A high-concept sci-fi survival drama built on existential uncertainty and the tension between revived humans and the alien civilization that both destroyed and resurrected them.
400 years after the extinction of the human race, a small group of humans are revived by an alien civilization. The colony of revived humans encounter struggles with the aliens who extinguished humankind centuries before, while trying to understand and get along with the mysterious aliens who revived them.
