Speaking of the series in a recent interview with Hot Press, Cunningham said: "It's very important the reality of our situation and the reality of our world. I think it’s very important that we drag science into it because it’s the future of the human race.

“The only thing that's gonna save us in our story is the human race coming together with science to try and defeat an existential threat".
