MGM+ has placed a six-episode limited series order for Earth Abides, a new take on George R. Stewart’s sci-fi novel of the same name.

Created by showrunner Todd Komarnicki ( Sully), the series comes from MGM+ Studios and executive producers Kearie Peak and Lighthouse Productions’ Michael Phillips and Juliana Maio. “It’s very special to reintroduce Earth Abides to fans of George Stewart’s seminal work of science fiction, as well as to a new generation,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+ in a statement. “It has been an unmitigated thrill to adapt such a seminal sci-fi work, and the themes illuminated by George Stewart 75 years ago could not be more meaningful and timelier for the world we are living in today,” said Komarnicki.
