“The Eternaut” Trailer – Aliens Invade Argentina in Netflix’s Sci-Fi Comic Adaptation

Buenos Aires has only seen snowfall three times in its recorded history. This time, it kills everything it touches in an instant. Is it nuclear war or something even more sinister?

Find out when “The Eternaut” invades Netflix globally on April 30.

The Spanish-language sci-fi series is based on the 1957 Argentine comic written by Héctor G. Oesterheld and illustrated by Francisco Solano Lopez.

One summer’s night in Buenos Aires, a mysterious deadly snowfall wipes out most of the population and leaves thousands stranded. Juan Salvo and his friends embark on a desperate struggle for survival. Everything changes when they discover that the toxic snowstorm is only the first attack by a foreign army invading Earth.

The only way to stay alive is to join together and fight. No one will survive on their own.

Director Bruno Stagnaro created the six-episode show, which he co-wrote with Ariel Staltari.

“[The Eternaut] was one of the first things I read in full in my life, when I was 10 years old,” Stagnaro told Netflix. “My approach to the adaptation will be to be faithful to that child reader who came across the story for the first time, to try to reconstruct the genuine emotion of living an adventure on the corner of your neighborhood, and the construction of that great Argentine hero that is Juan Salvo.”

Ricardo Darín (The Secret in Their Eyes) stars as Juan Salvo with Carla Peterson, César Troncoso, Andrea Pietra, Ariel Staltari, Marcelo Subiotto, Claudio Martínez Bel, Orianna Cárdenas, and Mora Fisz.
