HBO Max has cast “Halt and Catch Fire” alum Mackenzie Davis and “Yesterday” star Himesh Patel as the leads in its limited series adaptation of “Station Eleven.”
Based on the bestselling novel by Emily St. John Mandel, “Station Eleven” is a post-apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines. It tells the stories of survivors of a devastating flu as they attempt to rebuild and reimagine the world anew while holding onto the best of what’s been lost.
Davis will star as Kirsten, a survivor of the pandemic who finds a new life as part of a post-apocalyptic Shakespeare troupe, and Patel will play Jeevan, an unemployed lost soul who must become a leader once the flu strikes.
