Evgeny Emelin became the director of the project, and Andrey Proshkin acted as a creative producer. The post-apocalyptic universe will be replenished with the main series, consisting of 8 episodes of 50 minutes each, and 5 independent web series, consisting of episodes of up to 10 minutes, where other characters act in a familiar reality.

The new season of “Survivors” from producers Alexander Plotnikov and Boris Khlebnikov will tell about a world on the verge of a catastrophe, covered by a disease unknown to science.
