AMC+ is solidifying itself as one of the best providers of original content.
Thursday, November 18, marks the series premiere of the new drama series, Anna.
The streaming services describes Anna as "a dystopian story of a ravaged world destroyed by a virus which kills adults but spares children."
"Set amongst parched fields and mysterious forests, the crumbling hulks of shopping malls and abandoned cities pierce deserted wide-open spaces on an island reclaimed by nature and run by savage communities of survivors, most of whom are children," the logline continues.
"Anna only has one guide: a book left by her mother with instructions on how to survive."
"But, with each passing day she discovers that the old rules no longer apply, and instead must make up new ones as she goes along."
It is an impressive hook for the series, and we have an exclusive clip from Anna Season 1 Episode 1, created by Niccolò Ammaniti.
