Station Eleven
Named Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Series at the 2022 Critics Choice Super Awards, Station Eleven follows the scattered survivors of a devastating global pandemic as they attempt to rebuild the world anew and hold on to the best of what’s been lost.
Based on the Arthur C Clarke Award-winning 2014 novel by Emily St John Mandel, the dystopian sci-fi drama has a 98% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Observer saying, “Station Eleven is not about a pandemic, not really – it’s about the way art, community, and family endure even after the end of civilization as we know it.”
As Kirsten Raymonde, Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, Blade Runner 2049) was named Best Actress in a Science Fiction/Fantasy Series at the 2022 Critics Choice Super Awards. She stars alongside the likes of Teen Choice nominee Himesh Patel (Don’t Look Up, Yesterday), Screen Actors Guild winner Lori Petty (Orange is the New Black, Tank Girl), and Cannes winner Gael García Bernal (Y tu mamá también, The Motorcyle Diaries).
Created by Patrick Somerville (Maniac, The Leftovers, Made for Love), the show’s directors include three-time Emmy nominee Hiro Murai (Atlanta, and the Grammy-winning Childish Gambino music video This Is America) who directed the pilot, and four-time Emmy nominee Jeremy Podeswa (Game of Thrones, The Handmaid’s Tale).
