In what looks like the first high-profile genre pick-up for next season, NBC has ordered J.J. Abrams’ Revolution to series.
The premise is described as “a high octane action drama following a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist” — everything from computers and technology to lights and vehicles.
The series pilot is titled “Blackout.”
Abrams (Alias, LOST, Star Trek, et al) is producing Revolution with Eric Kripke (Supernatural). It stars Billy Burke as Miles, Giancarlo Esposito as Lt. Neville, Tracy Spiridakos as Charlie, Graham Rogers as Danny, Anna Lise Phillips as Maggie, Tim Guinee as Ben, David Lyons as Bass Monroe, Andrea Roth as Rachel, Maria Howell as Grace, and Zak Orth as Aaron.
The series pilot is directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man), and was filmed in Atlanta.
