TV show description:
A post-apocalyptic science fiction drama from creators Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston, the Extinct TV show unfolds 400 years after the extinction of humanity. Now that aliens have regenerated the human race, mankind is on quest to find direction and make sense of it all, amidst ETs and advanced alien technology.
The action centers on Ezra (Collins), Feena (Atkin), and Abram (Fryer), who have been reborn centuries into the future. Despite vastly different backgrounds, they must learn to work together, in order to confront their pasts during this new and different season of their lives.
Once a proud grandfather, Abram has been reborn in his physical prime, yet he retains the lessons he first learned on Earth. This modest man of faith is resolute in his conviction that he must do the right thing.
A gifted hacker who once plied her trade irrespective of the law, Feena can’t forgive herself for her past actions, but she is loath to bare her soul to anyone. She shares a shadowy history with Duncan (Stormoen), a former Fed who tends to think before he acts, unlike most of his new allies.
Leadership is in Ezra’s very nature. This devoted family man may expect much of others, but not as much as he expects for himself. He will do anyone to protect his loved ones and their future.
Ezra can always depend on his wife, Lynn (Hales). On top of keeping their family together, she also exudes the sort of gentleness and concern that soothes people in times of trouble and helps them remember what is really important.
Meanwhile, if the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, then once upon a time, Silas (DePew) was the road crew’s foreman. Although he always tried to do good, his choices were bad enough that his brother Ezra usually had to rescue him from himself. Now, in this second shot at life, he finds himself in a dicey circle of people who look to him for leadership.
Finally, there’s Jax (Bellows). This quick, calculating, confident, cutthroat combatant has no love for his fellow man. Jax is hellbent on ending humanity — for good this time.
In this unfamiliar time and place, it difficult to discern what is really happening. Ezra, Abram, Feena and their allies must unite people, or they will end up subjugated, in one way or another.
Series Finale:
Episode #10 — “The Ancestor”
Abram makes plans to destroy the Ancestor, but Kylie takes matters into her own hands. The final battle between the Skin Riders and the Reborns begins, and the origin of the drones is finally revealed. (Courtesy of BYUtv.org)

What do you think? Do you like the Extinct TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for season two on BYUtv?
This is one of the best continuing story arcs on television. A friend referred me to it shortly after it began. It is far better than the other science fiction series now on television, which mostly rely on expensive sets and special effects to make up for really dumb story ideas and acting. I have gradually stopped watching those other shows but eagerly watch yours. Please renew.
I really enjoyed the series and the actors. It was exciting without being overly violent or too dark. I am hoping for another season.
I thought this was a really good show. The plot line gets you hooked and is almost binge-worthy. The actors aren’t famous but they are certainly decent enough and have done fine jobs (the actors who play the characters of Ezra, Feena, and Abram are especially noteworthy). The scenery is fantastic. The character development really progresses. The stories aren’t boring and what you’d necessarily expect and so it doesn’t get old as the episodes move along. The moral messages in many of the stories are about love, loyalty, forgiveness, redemption. I’m looking forward to Season 2. This is really just… Read more »
I LOVE this show!!! I’m so addicted to it!!! They better not cancel it!!! I pray that they renew it, cause I cannot wait for more!!! And if they don’t renew it, I just hope and pray that some other station or streaming service will be smart enough and awesome enough to pick it up because this show is like my new favorite!!!
I found this show by accident and find that I can’t stop watching and it is great family friendly series well worth watching and I hope they renew for another season and more if they can keep the story going.
I loved the show and can’t wait until the next season. Please BYU TV you must keep it going.
I really enjoy this show and gave my fingers crossed they will renew it.
This is a really good show and I hope it will continue. Not much on TV today I find interesting or engaging as this show.
Pleasantly surprised on the quality of the show. The story line is interesting, the character development is well thought out. The bad guys, are not just bad, but have a back story. The good guys, are not always good; which shows a degree of writing, that I was not expecting.
Love this show. The 2 hours show tonight was a great nail biter. Keep this show coming
Season Two please!
One of the better shows this season – acting not so put on or faked. Looking forward to a second season!
Great show!! Looking forward to the season finale and the beginning of season 2. Pleasantly surprised at the acting, the sets, the special effects. And I like watching knowing my kids can watch along without hearing all the language or watching all the gratuitous sex scenes found on other sci-fi shows.
Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Find myself full of anticipation awaiting the next season
I love it, I think more people need to know about it. I just found it by mistake. Why isn’t it on a major channel?
