A teaser has dropped for Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner’s first role since the fantasy show left small screens last year.
And boy, does it look like a dramatic one.
Based on the critically-acclaimed novel of the same name by Alex Morel, Survive will follow the efforts of Turner’s character Jane and fellow passenger Paul (played by BlacKkKlansman’s Corey Hawkins) and their attempt to survive the life-altering circumstances of a plane crash.
But the motivation to survive is perhaps not shared equally between the two main characters. In a series of Lost-inspired flashbacks, it is found that Jane was en route home from a mental hospital.
She never intends to survive the plane journey though, planning to overdose before she arrives at her destination.
However, the crash throws a spanner into the works and she is thrown alongside Paul as he fights for survival in the wilderness.
In the trailer, Jane is seen begging Paul to leave her behind, but he insists: ‘No no we’re here together… I have one rule… survive.’
Intense. It looks like it’ll be a battle between Jane’s personal demons and Paul’s will to survive.
Unfortunately – just to add more drama to the mix – if the TV series is going to follow the plot of the novel, it looks like ‘only one of them will survive’.
The teaser also details some pretty extreme weather conditions, as well as Paul jumping from an extreme height in his attempt to… survive. Edge of your seat kinda stuff.
Survive will be available to watch on Quibi (which will only be available on smartphones), in the US from April. No date has been confirmed for launch in the UK.
