Where to watch Earth Abides online
When a plague decimates the Earth, those who remain face a desperate fight against the extinction of the human race. Keep reading as we explain how to watch Earth Abides online from anywhere in the world – potentially using a free trial.
Between The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, The Leftovers and so many more, post-apocalyptic drama may seem well worn ground for a new TV show. But the ace Earth Abides has up its sleeve is that it’s based on George R Stewart’s award-winning book of the same name, a novel that predates even Richard Matherson’s I Am Legend, arguably responsible for creating the post-apocalypse subgenre.
The show follows Ish (Alexander Ludwig), a geologist who awakens from a coma to discover the world he knows is gone. A plague has swept the globe, leaving devastation in its wake and leaving only a few scattered pockets of survivors. As Ish hunts for others, civilisation begins to break down around him as the slow slide into extinction begins.
A risky adaptation of a classic novel, this new series could prove to be the definitive post-apocalypse drama. So read on for how to watch Earth Abides online, with a free trial, and from anywhere.
