Earth Abides is a post-apocalyptic series based on George R. Stewart’s novel of the same name. It follows the struggles of survivors rebuilding society after a pandemic wipes out most of humanity. The story centers on Ish and Emma as they form a new community.

The fourth episode, which premiered last night on MGM+ introduces the character Charlie, played by Aaron Tveit, who is a charismatic yet dangerous man who’s manipulative nature poses significant risks to the community’s stabilities as he both challenges Ish’s leadership and places one of their own in danger.

Recently, Tveit spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the series, how the experience changed, him, and more.
