A new epic post-apocalyptic science fiction series from
has finally been given a release date. And we don’t have to wait long. Titled The Eternaut, the series is based on the Eisner Award-winning graphic novel “The Eternaut” (“El Eternauta”) by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López, with the terrifying story dropping audiences in Buenos Aires, which suddenly finds itself shrouded in a snowfall. Not only is snow extremely rare for the city, but this snow is also far from normal, killing everyone it touches.
Netflix has revealed that the live-action adaptation The Eternaut is due to land on the streamer on April 30. The first season will consist of six episodes and has been brought to live-action life by creator and director Bruno Stagnaro (Okupas, Pizza, Beer, and Cigarettes) who co-wrote the series alongside writer and actor Ariel Staltari (El puntero).
“One summer’s night in Buenos Aires, a mysterious deadly snowfall wipes out most of the population and leaves thousands stranded. Juan Salvo and his friends embark on a desperate struggle for survival. Everything changes when they discover that the toxic snowstorm is only the first attack by a foreign army invading Earth. The only way to stay alive is to join together and fight. No one will survive on their own.”
‘The Eternaut’ Is the Perfect Companion Piece for ‘The Last of Us’ Fans
Post-apocalyptic stories have been a staple of sci-fi storytelling for decades, with this kind of bleak setting continuing even now thanks to the likes of Fallout, The Walking Dead, and the hit HBO series The Last of Us. The highly anticipated second season of The Last of Us is due to begin next month on April 13, with The Eternaut sure to make the perfect companion piece for anyone who wants to drown themselves in desolation and horror. Hey, it can’t be much worse than the real world.
The Eternaut director Bruno Stagnaro previously discussed his approach to the sci-fi series, who is a self-confessed fan of the original graphic novel and hopes to continue the story’s legacy. Particularly when it comes to giving the world an Argentinean hero.
“[The Eternaut] was one of the first things I read in full in my life, when I was 10 years old. My approach to the adaptation will be to be faithful to that child reader who came across the story for the first time, to try to reconstruct the genuine emotion of living an adventure on the corner of your neighborhood, and the construction of that great Argentine hero that is Juan Salvo.”
