Eternal Dawn
Eternal daylight. Eternal night. A thin green line is all that remains.
Eternal Dawn - The Series
Eternal Dawn is a serialized sci-fi epic that begins as a global disaster thriller and evolves into a millennia - spanning saga of survival, faith, and the collapse of civilization itself.
Season 1 – Year 0: Collapse
In the year 2040, humanity faces the worst energy crisis in history. Oil reserves are gone, solar power is crippled by constant atmospheric haze, and AI data centers consume more electricity than nations can supply. Salvation seems to arrive in the form of HeliosCorp, a mysterious company selling limitless power. But as storms, floods, and heatwaves surge beyond prediction, a team of scientists uncovers the truth: the corporation is siphoning energy directly from Earth’s rotation, that now begins to slow down. Days grow longer, chaos erupts, and when the world’s leaders finally intervene, the damage is irreversible. As the planet grinds to a halt, one half scorched by eternal sun, the other frozen in endless night, humanity’s only chance of survival lies in a narrow twilight zone.
Season 2 – Year 10: The Aftermath
A decade later, fragile settlements emerge in the twilight belt, while everyone still remembers the old world.
Season 3 – Year 100: The New Order
A century later, the old world is only memory—no one alive has seen it. Civilization in twilight struggles with faith, power, and survival.
Season 4 – Year 1000: Shadows of the Age
A millennium later, knowledge has eroded into myth, and humanity survives in scattered villages between endless ice and burning desert.
Season 5 – Year 10000: The Final Dawn
Ten thousand years into the future, as Earth begins to slowly turn again, the habitable line shifts: one side burns under eternal sun, the other freezes in perpetual darkness. The last survivors face extinction in a dying world.
About Eternal Dawn
Each season leaps forward in time, exploring how new generations adapt to an unforgiving world: ten years later, when fragile settlements rise; a century later, when the old world is only memory; a thousand years later, when knowledge has eroded into myth; and finally, ten thousand years into the future, when Earth begins to turn again — destroying the last habitable zone. At its core, Eternal Dawn is the story of humanity’s resilience and fragility, told through one bloodline across the ages, on a planet forever caught between fire and ice.
