Revolution on NBCRevolution will air at 10 p.m. on Mondays this fall, receiving the most prime spot on the 2012-2013 NBC schedule, right after The Voice.

It stars a Twilight Saga favorite (Billy Burke), a Breaking Bad villain (Giancarlo Esposito) and a former Rescue Me actress (Andrea Roth), among others. It centers on a world without electricity, where survivors live a pre-industrial revolution existence.

It's titled Revolution, it's produced by J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke and it's the most anticipated new NBC drama of the upcoming season. Watch an extended promo for the series now and decide: Will you give it a shot?

ABOUT THE SHOW

Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why?

Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down, the lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it?

On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.

From director Jon Favreau ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") and the fertile imaginations of J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke ("Supernatural"), comes a surprising "what if" action-adventure series, where an unlikely hero will lead the world out of the dark. Literally.
