Extrapolations Trailer: Contagion EP's Star-Studded Climate Change Drama Paints Bleak Future for Planet Earth

#PeakTV? More like #BleakTV.

Apple TV+ on Wednesday released a trailer for Extrapolations, “a bracing limited series that introduces a near future where the chaotic effects of climate change have become embedded into our everyday lives.” With the help of a truly stacked ensemble, Contagion EP Scott Z. Burns tells “eight interwoven stories about love, work, faith and family from across the globe” that “explore the intimate, life-altering choices that must be made when the planet is changing faster than the population,” according to the official logline. “Every story is different, but the fight for our future is universal. Are we brave enough to become the solution to our own undoing before it’s too late?”
