Station 11 differences from book1/23/2024 ![]() "A challenge in the writers’ room when we started was trying to make up a cult that we would join. "Tyler seemed to me to be an opportunity for a complicated, real story of another person who’s been making it through the pandemic, who is not a monster, but complicated," Somerville said. The series also handles the cult led by Tyler (Daniel Zovatto) differently. “It always felt like in the novel there was room for more Jeevan and to lean more into why it was special between those two people on the day the world ended.” Somerville adds that he always felt the novel could have used more of Jeevan, the character in the book who was an entertainment journalist and becomes an EMT post apocalypse. ![]() But there’s a slow, unfurling of a season-long mystery that has to do with how they lost each other and what happens.” “That means for Kirsten’s arc, that when we know her in year 20, Jeevan’s not around and we don’t know why. “They spend 80 days together in before Jeevan and Kirsten walk out together and there’s a whole big story to tell inside of there,” Somerville teased. Teasing some specific changes, Somerville said the characters of Kirsten and Jeevan (Himesh Patel) end up meeting in a different way during the initial outbreak than they do in the novel.

I'm glad that it’s neither a cautionary tale nor idealizing trauma and mass loss.”Īsked how close to the novel the series will stay with its narrative choices, Somerville said it is a very “aggressive adaptation” of the book, which he personally loved. To set context for tone, actress Mackenzie Davis, who plays the adult aged Kirsten, said of the series, “It’s not The Road and it’s not a fairy tale, but it is like the two put together where there’s danger in the woods, but there’s also beauty and rebirth in the woods.
