HISTORY – Astro channel 555
Life after People (New Episodes)
Premieres Monday 8pm, 4 October 2010
Synopsis:
What would happen if every human being on earth disappeared? This isn’t the story of how we might vanish? It is the story of what happens to the world we leave behind.
Building off the success of HISTORY’s two-hour special Life After People, this series continues the exploration of a world wiped clean of humanity, in even more vivid detail. Just like the special, each episode will use cinematic CGI to reveal – in scientific detail – the fate of every aspect of the man-made world.
What happens to the millions of animals that supply our food?
The chemicals stored in industrial complexes?
Which animals take over subways?
Do satellites fall to earth?
When does Mt. Rushmore whither away?
Every episode will unfold in the hours, days, months and years after people disappear and will combine three to four different kinds of stories, from animal outbreaks to structural collapses, building to a unique visual finale. Life After People, The Series. Welcome to earth, population zero.
