Station Eleven teaser highlights life during a pandemic-induced apocalypse
Right right right, because this is exactly what we want to see on television right now
The premise of HBO’s next miniseries Station Eleven may hit a little too close to home considering the events of the last two years, but then again there may never be good timing for another contagion series ever again.
Starring Mackenzie Davis (Black Mirror, Tully), Himesh Patel (Yesterday), and Daniel Zovatto, Station Eleven is a post-apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines, telling the stories of survivors of a devastating flu as they attempt to rebuild and reimagine the world while holding onto the best of what’s been lost.
In the clip, we see the familiar sight of shoppers loading up on groceries and dry goods ahead of an impending shutdown as the cashier questions if it’s even going to be all that bad.
As total devastation sets in and the virus spreads, the people remaining must forge their own “new normal” as things will never go back to the way they were. It’s a little unnerving considering the time we’re all still enduring, but we guess it shows things can always be worse.
