CBS Orders EXTANT for Summer 2014

Fresh off of the success of UNDER THE DOME, CBS has ordered 13 episodes of a new summer series for 2014.

According to CBS, “EXTANT is a futuristic thriller about a female astronaut trying to reconnect with her family when she returns after a year in outer space. Her experiences lead to events that ultimately will change the course of human history.”

“EXTANT is a very original concept with layers of humanity, mystery and surprise that reveal itself throughout the script,” said Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment in a statement. “Our partnership with Amblin for UNDER THE DOME showed that viewers respond to high-quality event programming in the summer.  We look forward to building on that with EXTANT and offering CBS audiences another high-concept, unique event for summer television.”
