The latest attempt at a high concept thriller to recapture the hold "Lost" held over audiences, NBC's new drama clearly owes a great debt to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370:
When Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers were relieved. Yet in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years and their friends, families and colleagues, after mourning their loss, had given up hope and moved on. Now, faced with the impossible, they’re all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds and some of the returned passengers soon realize they may be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible. From Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke, Jeff Rake and Jackie Levine comes an emotionally rich, unexpected journey into a world grounded in hope, heart and destiny.
The new series premieres tonight at 10/9c after "The Voice".
It is shot in Queens, and executive produced by Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke, Jeff Rake, and Jackie Levine. Rake created the series and serves as showrunner.
