The CW has released three new teasers for their upcoming new show Containment.
Based on a Belgian series created by Carl Joos, the new series is a
thriller-drama that sees a deadly epidemic breaking out in Atlanta, and
trapping those unfortunate enough to escape in a battle for survival in the quarantine
zone while local and federal officials desperately search for a cure.
Containment stars David Gyasi (Interstellar), Christina
Moses (Starship: Apocalypse), Chris Wood (The Vampire Diaries), Kristen
Gutoskie (Beaver Falls), Claudia Black (Farscape), George Young (Casualty),
Hanna Mangan Lawrence (Spartacus: War of the Damned), and Trevor St. John (One
Life to Live).
The series is set to premiere Tuesday, April 19th on The CW.
When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban
quarantine is quickly enforced, forcing those stuck on the
inside to fight for their lives while local and federal officials desperately
search for a cure. Trying to keep the peace on the streets is police officer
Lex Carnahan, who has quickly risen through the ranks of the Atlanta PD. But
Lex’s job becomes even harder when he learns that his longtime girlfriend,
Jana, and his best friend and fellow officer Jake, are trapped within the
cordoned area. Also quarantined in viral ground zero is 17 year-old Teresa, who
is eight months pregnant and now separated from her boyfriend on the other
side; Katie Frank, an elementary school teacher now placed on lockdown with her
entire class, including her young son; and CDC researcher Dr. Victor Cannerts,
the doctor who initially made the controversial call to quarantine the area and
is now racing to find a cure for the virus. On the outside, Dr. Sabine Lommers
is leading the government efforts to contain the outbreak, and has asked for
Lex’s help in enforcing the cordon – which grows increasingly difficult as the
public trust deteriorates. And the public has reason to be wary, as journalist
Leo begins unraveling a conspiracy, finding that something doesn’t add up in
the official story being told. Torn apart from their loved ones, the survivors
trapped within the cordon are fighting against not only fatal infection, but
also isolation, fear, and the disintegration of society around them. But as
they begin to gain each other’s trust, hope remains, and on either side of the
cordon unlikely heroes will rise.
