First trailer shows up online for NBC’s apocalyptic sci-fi drama series Day One

Quiet Earth has posted the first trailer for NBC’s Day One, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi series slated to debut at midseason, just after the winter Olympics. According to Sci-Fi Wire, show creator Jesse Alexander has tweeted that the trailer, which was shown at NBC’s upfront presentation to the media and advertisers in the spring, features temporary visual effects and music, but is otherwise authentic.

Day One chronicles a global catastrophe from the perspective of the residents of a southern California apartment complex. In the wake of a mysterious event that has shattered lines of communication and (literally) changed the shape of the world, the survivors must work together to both rebuild and save the Earth from a menace that might have already consumed countless other worlds.

Day One stars Leila Birch, Julie Gonzalo, Akie Kotabe and Erin Way.
