NBC’s newest offering, called Revolution, is about a point in our soon to be imaginary history where all forms of power disappear. From there, society movies forward and develops, as things do when there’s no power. The series takes place 15 years after this huge power “outage” where governments have fallen and small, local militias have taken hold apparently.
(For the upcoming 2012-2013 TV season, this could be the next Jericho! It has that feel to it that made me think of that show instantly. Not to discredit the older series, but this might be something worth checking out if you liked that other series.)
The show is from & produced by J.J. Abrams (Bad Robot) and the pilot is directed by Jon Favreau.
Right there, I’m already hooked because I tend to like what Abrams comes up with and “In Favreau, I trust!” And yet, that’s not all… Supernatural‘s creator, Eric Kripke and Bryan Burk (Lost) are exec producing.

Lately, I’ve been veering away from TV news on upcoming projects. I just don’t have the kind of time that one man needs to cover a lot of it… but this one, I could not resist.
NBC has ordered a dramatic thriller from J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke called Revolution.
As far as I’m concerned, these two combining to put something together goes beyond thrilling for this kid! If you’ve seen the CW’s series, Supernatural, starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, then you know what I’m talking about. It’s a great show.
Revolution takes place in a world where all forms of energy have disappeared and we follow some characters who are struggling to survive this situation and attempting to reunite with loved ones.
Bryan Burk (Fringe) will be executive producer.
I already can’t wait to see future TV news about this project and who they’ll start casting for roles.
(Sorry… I’m all fan-boying about this one!)
