DESCRIPTION: (from BYUtv's press release, September 2017) BYUtv today announced the Oct. 1 premiere of its second original scripted drama series, Extinct. Created exclusively for BYUtv by New York Times bestselling author Aaron Johnston and Ender's Game author and science-fiction legend Orson Scott Card, Extinct is a co-production of Taleswapper, Go Films and BYUtv. Starring Chad Michael Collins (Sniper), Victoria Atkin (Assassin's Creed: Syndicate) and Yorke Fryer (How to Get Away with Murder), this 10-episode sci-fi series will air beginning with the first two episodes on Sunday, October 1 at 9pm ET/7pm MT. In Extinct, 400 years after the extinction of humankind by evil aliens called the Kariks, a colony of revived humans, the Reborns, attempt to understand and trust a group of mysterious, peaceful and highly advanced aliens known as the Originators who brought them back to life. The Reborns are guided by Drones who are the face and voice of the Originators. They guide and protect the Reborns throughout their fight against the Kariks, and the parasitic Skin Riders who take control of a "host" or person's cognitive abilities, to restore the human race and end the alien threat that drove mankind to extinction. |
