A Prequel
The story before the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, written to answer the questions the original left unanswered.
“Is Anybody Out There?”
Forbidden Planet leaves a great deal unanswered, empty, or simply ignored, beginning with who the Krell were and when they first found us. This prequel sets out to fill those gaps. Season 1 begins with “The Krell,” now live below.
Season 1 · Episode 1
Two hundred thousand years ago, a Krell survey ship came to Earth looking for sentient life, and found it. In October 1957, a radio operator in Colorado hears something on Sputnik's frequency that isn't Sputnik. It's counting.
