The situation we've encountered is the same encountered by a number of TV
series and movies post -September 11th. The show deals with a post-apocalyptic
environment after a virus has wiped out about six billion people...which may
(or may not) be a sensitive issue in the eyes of potential viewers. So the
powers that be are gauging when it might be safe to go forward with it; we
expect to know something in the next couple of weeks since they have to start
making up their schedules soon.

Just two things...it already is in being, we're shooting 20 hours. Second
thing... this show isn't about endings. It's about beginnings. It's about
building a new world out of the ashes of the old, and who gets to decide what
that world looks like, and what our responsibilities are toward that world.

It was designed specifically to be a show about hope, set after what could have
been the end, because humans persevere.

Don't judge it until you've seen it.
