Day One is an upcoming
NBC sci-fi television movie—originally a TV series pilot—about apartment residents that survive an unknown worldwide cataclysm,
that destroys modern infrastructure.
[Hollywood Destroys the World Wall Street Journal] The movie/pilot was directed by
Alex Graves, who previously directed the pilot episodes for the
Fox TV series
Fringe and
Journeyman. No premiere date has been given, although according to NBC's
Angela Bromstad, the show was originally expected to fill the
Heroes time slot after the 2010 Olympics, "
Day One is a big event and we're looking at that to come into the
Heroes spot," Bromstad told the Reporter. "It's right now being looked at as a 13-episode run—something people could commit to and we could make a big splash with."
Development
While originally intended to air on NBC midseason in the 2009–2010 TV season with a thirteen-episode season, it was reported on October 1, 2009 that the episode order had been reduced to four and would air as a mini-series.
[www.variety.com/article/VR1118009437.html?categoryid=14&cs=1] On January 10, 2010 it was announced that only the pilot would air, as a TV movie. NBC President of prime-time entertainment told the Television Critics Association "It will be a pilot where you could see where it could go in series, but there will be a resolve at the end of the two hours." If the TV movie performs well the story may be continued.
