After Earth is ravaged by a great religious war, two androids set out to raise human children on the mysterious virgin planet Kepler-22b, a treacherous task jeopardized by the arrival of a devout congregation of surviving humans.

The first two episodes were directed by Ridley Scott, who also serves as an executive producer for the show.

The series was filmed in the Western Cape, specifically Somerset West, Stellenbosch and Cape Town, South Africa.

Remake of writer Mario Giordano's 'Das Experiment' (2001), starring Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker. The film is based on the Standford Prison Experiment of 1971, which examined the psychological impact of prison life on both inmates and wardens. To earn a sum of money, Travis (Brody) decides to participate in the experiment which requires 26 subjects, one of whom is Barris (Whitaker). The men are divided into two groups and separated into the roles of prisoners and wardens. They are warned that if violence is used, the experiment will be over, but soon a mutiny breaks out and the men on both sides must fight for their survival.
