EARTH ABIDES: Aaron Tveit and More Join the MGM+ Limited Series

Aaron Tveit has joined the upcoming limited series EARTH ABIDES, MGM+ announced. The series, which is being dubbed a “new take” on George R. Stewart’s sci-fi novel, is set to debut in late 2024.

Tveit will play Charlie, “the handsome leader of a new group of travelers. A natural charmer, he hides a threatening nature that only Ish (Alexander Ludwig) seems to be able to see.”

According to MGM+, “when a plague of unprecedented virulence sweeps the globe, the human race is all but wiped out. In the aftermath, as the great machine of civilization slowly and inexorably breaks down, only a few shattered survivors remain to struggle against the slide into extinction.”

The series has also added Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, “a civil engineer in his native Venezuela, Jorge finds his purpose once more amongst the San Lupo community.”; Elyse Levesque who will play Maurine, “who is beautiful but troubled. Used to a life of wealth and sophistication, past traumas have left her despondent.”; Luisa D’Oliveira who will play Molly, “a doctor with a deep-rooted strength and directness. Molly is a supportive and dependable force within the community, helping many through their struggles while hiding her own.”; Birkett Turton who will play Ezra, “a former music club owner who is full of personality. Everything about him sets Ish on edge.”; Hilary McCormack who will play Jean, “once a mesmerizing musician and singer who is now a loving mother and recovering addict.”; and Jenna Berman who will play Evie, “a young autistic woman with radiant beauty who finds peace in art.”

Jessica Frances Dukes was previously announced as starring in the show, which is being showrun by Todd Komarnicki. Karen Janszen, Tony Spiridakis, Evan Hart, and Kyle Stephen round out the writers. Bronwen Hughes will direct the pilot and episode 2, Rachel Leiterman will direct episodes 3 and 4, and Stephen Campanelli will direct episodes 5 and 6.
