The NBC television series Revolution, produced by Bad Robot, takes place in the dystopian future of the year 2027, 15 years after a massive global electrical-power blackout plunged the world into darkness. Because government and public order have collapsed, territories are ruled by militias and their generals. The series centres on Miles Matheson, a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant-turned-tavern owner, members of his family and a rogue band of survivors that they team up with.
CCOI¡¯s Role:
In meetings with the show¡¯s creators and producers, CCOI highlighted the fact that the show¡¯s fictional portrayal of a world without power is a reality for over a billion people around the globe today.
