The End is Near: Day One Comes to NBC

Today, at the NBC “Infronts,” the network confirmed that Day One will be on their fall schedule. Day One is a survival story that begins after a “global catastrophe” decimates the world’s infrastructures. Like the cult favorite Jericho, the show revolves around a mixed bag of survivors, in this case the residents of an apartment building in Van Nuys, California, who must band together in order to stay alive.

There are some big guns behind the series, namely executive producer/writer Jesse Alexander (“Heroes,” “Lost,” “Alias”) and director Alex Graves (“Fringe,” “Journeyman”). The cast if full of young faces you’ve seen but probably can’t put a name to including Adam Campbell (“Harper’s Island”), Catherine Dent (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”), Julie Gonzalo (“Eli Stone”), David Lyons (“ER”), Derek Mio (“Greek”), Carly Pope (“24″), Thekla Reuten (“Sleeper Cell”) and Addison Timlin (“Cashmere Mafia”).

They say it’s a story of hope, about how heroes are born every day — looters and price gougers are also born every day, so we’ll just have to see how this goes.
