Straczynski On JEREMIAH

J. Michael Straczynski has been talking about when we can expect to see the Showtime JEREMIAH TV series.

While talking to SCIFI.COM, JMS revealed that the series is likely to debut in March or June 2002, adding, "It begins with a two-hour movie, and it stars Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner."

JMS describes the series' premise, saying, "The main premise is that there's a virus of some kind that gets loose more or less in present day and wipes out about two-thirds of the population -- anybody over the age of puberty. It targets hormones. Whoever has adult hormones gets nailed. It's now 15 years later, and the kids who survived the big death are now coming into their own. They've been riding, if you will, on the ashes of the old world, through clothes they'd grown into and food still in cans. Now they're at a point where they can keep on declining and running out of things, or they can begin to rebuild the world. It's at that cusp of the rebuilding where our story takes place. So it's a story not about endings, but beginnings."
