A remake of the original Survivors series, this TV show debuted in November 2008. It was created by BAFTA Award-winner Adrian Hodges (Primeval) and was inspired by the original Terry Nation novel.
This version of Survivors is set in the present day and focuses on a group of people who have survived viral pandemic known as the Eurpoean Flu. With the rest of the world’s population dead, these individuals must learn to survive and work together without the structure and security of an organized society and law and order.
Performers in this post-apocalyptic series include Julie Graham, Phillip Rhys, Zoe Tapper, Shaun Dingwall, Paterson Joseph, Freema Agyeman, Chahak Patel, Nikki Amuka-bird and Max Beesley.
The last episode of Survivors aired in February and it was subsequently announced that the series was cancelled, leaving the TV show with a cliffhanger ending.

The five-disc set features all 12 episodes in high-definition, a “making-of” featurette and character profiles.

yah this is the british version of the Stand without religion thrown in. 🙂
So basically this is like The Stand?
Entering again today–hope that I win this excellent show.
I loved the original series! I had high hopes for this series. It seemed to be hitting it’s stride. Too bad there won’t be a third series. I hope BBC reconsiders.
New series: A knight in shining armor travels about medieval Europe, treating/curing victims of the plague. The name of the knight, and the series? “Sir Vivors!”
haven’t seen either so want them both!
Hate that they are not continuing the story … do they survive? I want to know?
I love this show, I never knew there was a previous one. So now I need to find that. Was it also a BBC series?
I enjoyed watching this series. Did not know this was a remake of a original but would’nt mind winning eiher .
Strange, I had never heard of either before but both sound interesting and I would love to see them both.
Here’s hoping I’ll win.

This show was excellent–I’d love to see it again. It’s a shame there won’t be a 3rd series.
