JEMEMIAH RENEWED FOR SECOND SEASON
Showtime Networks has renewed Jeremiah for a second season with 15 additional episodes and has added Sean Astin to the cast.
In the new season, Astin, known for his role as Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, will play a quirky colorful character named Mr. Smith, who will partner with Warner's character, Kurdy. Together they will go out on the road to help forge new alliances that will help in the rebuilding of their nation.
Для не владеющих английским: Шон Эстин подписал контракт на съемки в продолжении мини-сериала «Иеремия» телекомпании Showtime. Эстин сыграет яркий характер по имени мистер Смит, который будет помогать Курди, одному из главных героев сериала (второго - Иеремию - играет Люк Перри). Вдвоем (т.е. Мистер Смит и Курди) отправятся в путь, чтобы создать новый альянс, который поможет спасти вымирающую нацию.
Я «Иеремию» сама не смотрела, но собираюсь (4 серии из 11 у меня уже есть на дисках). Сериал снимает Майкл Стражински - создатель «Вавилона-5». По отзывам очевидцев «Иеремия» - весьма неплохой сериал.
В общем, мне переводить лениво, поэтому я запощу подробное описание сериала и событий первого сезона (для тех, кому интересно) на английском
The series is set in a future post-apocalyptic world where, almost a decade before, a deadly virus wiped out the world's adult population sparing only those who hadn't reached puberty. Now, the oldest survivors of the "Big Death" are trying to survive and create a civilization out of the chaos that ensued after the adults died, and with them much of society's collective wisdom.
During the first season, Jeremiah was hoping to locate a mysterious place called Valhalla, which his father claimed might hold some hope for the survivors, but this personal quest was redirected when he met up with Kurdy and they discovered a group of highly organized survivors at Thunder Mountain who wanted to enlist them to orchestrate peace among the warring factions and to try and prevent the killer virus from returning. As the second season opens, Jeremiah has been separated from Kurdy in the aftermath of a struggle with forces from the Valhalla Sector. He is being held in captivity and is about to be reunited with his father -- a mysterious figure who holds the answers to many secrets about Jeremiah's world.
Jeremiah is based on Platinum Studios' comic book-to-film adaptation from the comic book by Belgian author Hermann Huppen. The series is being produced by Jeremiah Productions Inc. in association with Lion's Gate Television and Platinum Studios and will be distributed by MGM Worldwide Television Distribution.
