The classic Argentine graphic novel The Eternaut is getting a chilling new series adaptation, and Netflix has unveiled the first look teaser previewing an icy alien apocalypse ahead.
Netflix premieres The Eternaut globally on April 30, 2025.
In the series, “One summer’s night in Buenos Aires, a mysterious deadly snowfall wipes out most of the population and leaves thousands stranded. Juan Salvo and his friends embark on a desperate struggle for survival. Everything changes when they discover that the toxic snowstorm is only the first attack by a foreign army invading Earth. The only way to stay alive is to join together and fight. No one will survive on their own.”
To reiterate, the snow is actually radioactive, released as part of an alien invasion that slowly reveals itself in this apocalyptic scenario. The series marks the first screen adaptation of the sci-fi graphic novel written by Héctor G. Oesterheld and illustrated by Francisco Solano Lopez, first published in 1957.
I’m a fan of the writer and the original newspaper run (haven’t read his later reboot yet). It’s pretty weird and dark. I wonder if they’re basing the series entirely on the more famous original version, or if they’re adapting things from the other series as well?
ETA: Just watched the teaser and it looks pretty faithful to the original from the small glance we see. Encouraging to see it’s an Argentinian production rather than an American adaptation.
Oh look, another show they won’t finish.
I look forward to Season 1 followed by a cliffhanger that will never be resolved.
No it will get a season 2 put the actors/actresses are going to be visbly 5 years older by then. Then they cramp 4 seasons of plot into 8 episodes because the 2nd season is going to be the last.
Then they cramp 4 seasons of plot into 8 episodes
Only if Netflix tells them about cancelation before the production end.
Oh that just means it will be very good but no wide appeal
