It follows the journey of a time traveler (Stanford) from the post-apocalyptic future who appears in the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will eventually decimate the human race.

Jake Kurily serves as Atlas’ executive on the series. Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett (“Nikita”), writers of the pilot, serve as co-executive producers with Natalie Chaidez (“In Plain Sight,” “V,” “Heroes”) as executive producer/showrunner.
