MGM+ has announced a December 1 premiere date for its new sci-fi drama series, Earth Abides. The series, adapted from George R. Stewart’s acclaimed novel, follows Ish Williams (Alexander Ludwig), a young geologist who emerges from a coma to discover a world ravaged by a devastating plague.
Forced to confront a near-empty planet, Ish must abandon his solitary existence and seek out other survivors, forming a fragile new community grappling with the potential extinction of humankind. The six-episode series offers a look at a world stripped bare of its familiar structures, examining the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable loss.
Earth Abides will be available exclusively on MGM+ and its digital platforms, including MGM+ on Prime Channels.
The series also features Jessica Frances Dukes, Aaron Tveit, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, Elyse Levesque, Hilary McCormack, Luisa D’Oliveira, Birkett Turton, and Jenna Berman.
Earth Abides is an MGM+ Original Series.
