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?
I ended up watching the series in the middle and though I am enjoying it, I wish you would please rerun season 1 again and please renew the series
I absolutely loved this series. It’s a crime to cancel it. Great moral base. Family oriented. PLEASE bring it back!!!
Please Please renew!!!
I am enjoying this series and do wish to follow how the !lives of these people play out. I’m also a big fan of Orson Scott Card.
EXTINCT has really caught my interest. I love the superb intro theme music with the “sparks” knitting the physical framework of the characters… Invasion by Aliens is nothing new but this is an intriguing twist… instead of fighting Zombies we have characters placed in a new time, new situations and conditions with potential to create new beginnings. To me the emphasis is placed on life, choosing priorities, and maintaining relationships while fighting for liberty in the face of enemies, destruction, enslavement by deceptive means, and death. EXTINCT is easily one of the best science-fiction programs in TV land and causes… Read more »
Really hoping for more seasons. Pretty well done. We love to watch it.
This is one of the best new shows out there. Thought provoking, mysteriest, well told and acted. I binged watched thee whole thing, and it kept me guessing (that is hard to do, by the way). I will rewatch this one again! Hoping for a 2nd season.
Thank you for a fantastic story, without all the F words, and sex garbage for effect. Just a really good story to be told!
I totally agree. Totally family friendly, without the sexual content or the violent language. You can’t find that anywhere else.
hoping for a season 2
I hope is renuewed. I enjoy the show and premise. Hopefully a new season will begin soon.
I really enjoy Extinct. Very clever and original series.
Originality reminds me of Firefly.
I surely hope this series is not cancelled.
Renewed!!! It should definitely be renewed.
Please keep this series going…. I enjoy watching how the story and characters develop….
I don’t believe this show should be cancelled. I have very much enjoyed watching the program. I like watching science fiction but had stopped watching a lot of it because of the extreme violence, cursing and sexual content. I very much like the cast and hope it want be cancelled
Love this show. Would like to see how this plays out a lot they could do.
I found the show about 2 months ago purely by accident (as I am in Canada and its not on any station up here). This would be a great series for Space (a Canadian station that is scifi oriented). I really enjoyed the series. It was a bit talky at times but that is how you stretch a budget. Despite the very limited budget of the show, they did a great job with what they had. None of the special effects were cheap, and the acting was good. I remember how godawful wooden the first season of Star Trek Next… Read more »
