THR is reporting that NBC has given a series order to a project that was at least at one point called Revolution. The title might end up changing to avoid confusion with the recent ABC afternoon reality show.
Here’s how THR describes the project:
In the epic adventure thriller, a family struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape: a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out … forever.
Billy Burke (Twilight) leads the cast, which also includes David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Tracy Spiradakos, Graham Rogers, Anna Lise Phillips, Tim Guinee, Andrea Roth, JD Pardo, and Zak Orth. Jon Favreau (Iron Man) directed the pilot.
