Based on the French novel La Planète des singes by Pierre Boulle, the Planet of the Apes TV adaptation went back to the origins of the 1968 movie. It might have been a case of Planet of the Apes fatigue, as Roddy McDowall’s crossover from the big to the small screen only lasted the original 14-episode order by CBS — five movies released in quick su...
Set in the 24th century, a nuclear war has wiped out much of the world’s population in the TV version of the dystopian movie of the same name. Survivors live in blissful ignorance until the age of 30 when they are killed in the Carousel extermination ceremony that promises reincarnation. Sandmen pursue those who escape the City of Domes including f...
Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is far from the first character to wake up in a hospital after an apocalyptic event, which has become a familiar science-fiction trope (see also, 28 Days Later and The Stand). Adapted from John Wyndham’s 1951 novel, Bill Masen’s (John Duttine) fortuitous medical emergency meant he did not witness the meteorite shower th...
Rather than nuclear war dominating the plot, the five-part BBC satirical drama based on Angus Wilson’s 1961 novel follows Wilson’s foregrounding of zoo politics while danger lurks – in fact, the novel doesn’t even include the bombs. Set in 1970, after an ill giraffe kills a warden (hello, Zoo), the blame game begins between different departments. T...
Apocalyptic scenarios are not always allegorical and simply reflect the very real horror that could befall the planet if cooler heads do not prevail. One of the TV events of the decade, ABC’s The Day After drew an audience of 100 million Americans on a Sunday night in 1983. Showcasing a potential “What If?” scenario, this two-hour movie depicts ful...
BBC Director-GeneralAlasdair Milne commissioned Threads after he watched the controversial 1966 pseudo-documentary War Games. Peter Watkins’ fictional portrayal of nuclear war was meant to air on British television, but was pulled from the schedule after pressure from the government who believed it would have a significant negative impact on viewer...
The CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King’s beloved 1978 novel is currently airing, which also wisely takes the mini-series approach after years of movie production woes. But for many, this version is iconic. King’s 1,100-page tome (stretching to 1,400 pages for the uncut edition) pits a battle of good versus evil in a world that has been ravag...
Whether it is a disease, an environmental disaster, or technology, the common thread connecting the apocalypse on television is humans. This is also the case in Battlestar Galactica after the Cylons evolved and rebelled against their inventors. In the distant future, civilization is now spread across planets in another star system known as the Twel...
Rebuilding after a catastrophic event is a common apocalyptic TV theme and Jericho follows this model. After the residents of Jericho, Kansas witness a nuclear event in Denver, Colorado, they must piece together what has happened and adapt to survive. In total 23 cities have been hit across the US, which has wiped out power and communication. This ...
Several entries on this list tick the virus scenario that wipes out the majority of the world’s population, followed by survivors struggling to restore a semblance of control — while also dealing with the trauma of the event. This short-lived potent BBC series is a re-engineered take on Terry Nation’s 1975 series (and subsequent novelization) that ...
