Trailer: J.J. Abrams REVOLUTION Coming to NBC This Fall

There has been loads of TV news this week, probably due to the fact that all the American networks are releasing their schedules for what’s coming in fall 2012, there are many returning as we already know, most prominent of which will be Dexter, Homeland and The Walking Dead. However, the networks also have some interesting new shows coming our way, I reported the other day on Kevin Bacon’s new serial killer thriller The Following coming to Fox which you can be sure I’ll be checking out, but this week also saw the trailer for a highly anticipated show coming our way on NBC. Fresh from having Alcatraz cancelled J.J. Abrams and his team have wasted no time on bringing us their latest Lost-esq drama named Revolution and I have the trailer here for you now.

Very much like Lost, Revolution comes with a cast of virtually unknowns which really is a good thing in my opinion, one star name to mention is Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito who takes the role of a villain in the new thirteen part drama.

Revolution will start fifteen years after all electrical power and energy has mysteriously disappeared, it will follow a group people who are trying to make their way in the world following the loss of those essential things. A lot of money has been spent on the production as you would expect with Abrams and the “Pilot” episode has been Directed by Iron Man’s Jon Favreau which really shows the confidence instilled here. One thing is for certain NBC will be hoping that it’s a run away hit with both viewers and critics as they have been desperate to take hold of an audience with something, as we mentioned yesterday their latest drama Awake may have been a hit with the critics but failed to get an big weekly audience, here’s hoping that J.J. Abrams can change that for them.
