Extinct is a post-apocalyptic science fiction television series directed by Ryan Little and written by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston.

"[10] Paste magazine says the first season is "worth paying attention to," despite spurning BYUtv's claims that the show is family friendly.
Abby White says "the show features mass grave sites, killer viruses and highly aggressive bad guys who want the heroes dead.
It’s not necessarily for the faint of heart, and yet the way it’s shot, edited and written makes it quite arguably a lot tamer than most sci-fi TV.
