An interesting plot premise based off a novel of the same name by William Brinkley. An epidemic kills off most of human life on Earth and the Last Ship scrambles to find a cure to save humanity. TNT will air it and also has purchased 10 episodes. So either its going to be a real short series or if it catches on will become a cable must see.
Their mission is simple: Find a cure. Stop the virus. Save the world. When a global pandemic wipes out eighty percent of the planet’s population, the crew of a lone naval destroyer must find a way to pull humanity from the brink of extinction.
Executive Producer Michael Bay presents The Last Ship, a post-apocalyptic action drama series, starring Eric Dane, Rhona Mitra and Adam Baldwin.
