The Young World (2014) imagines a Manhattan where a plague called the Sickness has killed everyone except teenagers. The survivors have organized into tribes and must navigate a city without infrastructure, law, or adult guidance. Chris Weitz brings his filmmaking eye to the vivid, visual storytelling of a ruined New York.
The New Order (2015) and The Revival (2016) continue the story as the characters search for answers about the plague and encounter other survivor communities. The trilogy combines post-apocalyptic survival with the social dynamics of a world run entirely by young people.
