“Revolution” — 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.
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 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.
