Day One Trivia:

Day One will be brought to audiences by executive producer/writer "Jesse Alexander" ("Heroes", "Lost", "Alias") and director "Alex Graves" ("Fringe" and "Journeyman")!

No air dates have been announced yet but NBC executive Angela Bromstad has said that the network sees Day One as replacing Heroes in its time slot after it has a short fourth and final season. A good guess right now for a premiere date might be sometime in March of 2010. Angela also said that Day One is being planned as a 13-episode, short-run series but sci-fi fans can always hope that those episodes garner huge ratings and NBC will decide to bring the series back in 2011!

Avid sci-fi fans will immediately note the similarity in plots between Day One and the 2006 CBS sci-fi series, "Jericho". It remains to be seen just how similar the two will end out. Hopefully, NBC will continue to concentrate on the "survival" plot and not turn this series into just another "shoot 'em up" like CBS did with Jericho!

Day One will be produced by "Universal Media Studios" who also brought audiences, "Heroes", "Law & Order" (all versions), and "The Office".

There was another TV series titled "Day One" from 1993-1995. It was a news magazine program that was hosted by Diane Sawyer and Forrest Sawyer. There was also a TV movie in 1989 called "Day One" that starred Brian Dennehy, Hume Cronyn, Hal Holbrook, and David Ogden Stiers about the development of the first atom bomb.
