A mysterious, government-controlled island, a crash-landed ship, and a young survivor with no injuries or memories. With Storm Area 51 making headlines last week, ABC’s new conspiracy thriller series Emergence debuts at an interesting and most fitting time.
The mystery of Emergence centers around Piper (Alexa Swinton), the only survivor of a Long Island beach plane crash: who is she, where does she come from, and perhaps most importantly, what is she? In interviews, show creators Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas said Emergence draws influence primarily from the works of Steven Spielberg, name-dropping Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T.
