‘Stay dry. Stay alive.’
The Rain is a 2018 Danish science fiction horror thriller television series created by Jannik Tai Mosholt, Esben Toft Jacobsen and Christian Potalivo.
Six years after a brutal virus carried by the rain wiped out almost all humans in Scandinavia, two Danish siblings emerge from the safety of their bunker to find all remnants of civilisation gone.
Soon, they join a group of young survivors and together set out on a danger-filled quest through abandoned Scandinavia, searching for any sign of life. Set free from their collective past and societal rules the group has the freedom to be who they want to be.
In their struggle for survival, the group discover that even in a post-apocalyptic world there’s still love, jealousy, coming of age, and many of the problems they thought they’d left behind with the disappearance of the world they once knew…
The series is set to premiere on Netflix on May 4, 2018.
