HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHT ON NEW NBC'S SF APOCALYPTIC SHOW "REVOLUTION" SET IN THE WORLD WITHOUT ENERGY SOURCES

As you remember, a number of new shows awaits us this Autumn on TV, and since apocalyptic projects are very trendy thanks to the super popular worldwide hit drama THE WALKING DEAD which awaits its third season later this October, one of the most interesting new shows will definitely be science fiction series REVOLUTION which is ready to air September 17th at NBC in its first season set in the world without energy sources in which the Earth has gone very primeval.

REVOLUTIONARY STORY

Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky,

 hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and

candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with

the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.

REVOLUTIONARY CAST

From director Jon Favreau (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2”) and the fertile imaginations of J.J. Abrams (“Lost,” “Person Of Interest”) and Eric Kripke (“Supernatural”), comes a surprising “what if” action-

adventure series, where an unlikely hero will lead the world out of the dark. Literally. The series stars Billy Burke (“The Horrid Twilight Saga”), Tracy Spiridakos (“Being Human”), Anna Lise Phillips (“Terra Nova”), Zak Orth (“Romeo + Juliet“), Graham Rogers

 (“Memphis Beat”), J.D. Pardo (“A Cinderella Story”), Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”), David Lyons (“The Cape”), Maria Howell (“The Blind Side”), Tim Guinee (“Iron Man”) and Andrea Roth (“Rescue Me”). Kripke, Abrams, Favreau and Bryan Burk (“Lost,” “Star Trek”) serve as executive producers. REVOLUTION

is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Bad Robot Productions, Kripke Enterprises and Warner Bros. Television. The pilot was directed by Favreau.
