"Survivors" is a modern day remake of the BBC television series "Survivors" (1975 — 1977) created by Terry Nation. It is filming in Manchester until September 2008 and is due to be shown on BBC One in the Autumn of 2008 as part of a group of new series produced by BBC Drama Productions. cite web|title= Julie Graham, Max Beesley, Nikki Amuka-Bird & Paterson Joseph star in Survivors for BBC One|publisher= BBC|date= 2008-05-30|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2008/05_may/30/survivors.shtml|accessdate= 2008-07-07]

The BBC actively pursued the rights for "Survivors" from Terry Nation's estate, so that the series could be revived [ [http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,,1816472,00.html BBC set to revive 70s sci-fi show | Media | MediaGuardian] ] and it took months of negotiations to secure the rights from Nation's estate to develop the series. cite web|last= Hemley|first= Matthew|title= BBC to remake seventies cult drama Survivors|publisher= The Stage|date= 2007-11-22|url= http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/18928/bbc-to-remake-seventies-cult-drama-survivors|accessdate= 2008-07-07]

The BBC Press Office released this statement about the show: cquote|Set in the present day, the drama series focuses on the world in the aftermath of a devastating virus which wipes out most of the world's population.

What would we do? How would any of us cope in a brave new world where all traditional 21st Century comforts – electricity, clean running water, advanced technology – have disappeared?

While the original 1970s show often focused on the despair of the situation, writer of the new series Adrian Hodges concentrates on the hope and the humanity. This is in an attempt to make it less depressing to watch as the kind of disaster depicted has moved out of the realm of pure science fiction.cite web|last= Wilkes|first= Neil|title= Julie Graham Talks Survivors|publisher= digitalSpy.co.uk|date= 2008-08-01|url= http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a117932/julie-graham-talks-survivors.html|accessdate= 2008-08-25]
