What happens

Homestead: The Series is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series produced and distributed by Angel Studios on their Angel streaming platform. Based on the book series Black Autumn: A Post-Apocalyptic Saga, it picks up where the Homestead film left off. The film was released in December 2024 and the first two episodes of the series were released on Angel concurrently. Production of the remainder of season 1 resumed after the film was released and episode 3 premiered on November 26, 2025. The series follows a group of people who have gathered at wealthy prepper Ian Ross's compound in the Rocky Mountains in the aftermath of a nuclear attack on Los Angeles and subsequent nationwide blackout which cuts off nearly all electricity and communication. The first season chronicles the events in the two months after the attacks. After Ian is critically wounded, his wife Jenna tries to maintain control of the Homestead and carry out Ian's wishes as a power struggle develops between her and the military special forces soldiers who Ian invited to provide security for the Homestead compound. Refugees gather outside the gates of the Homestead and Jenna wrestles with whether and how to help them. Meanwhile, a force led by local government officials and FEMA operatives threatens to take over the Homestead and recruits local gangs and thugs to join them. The first season is composed of eight episodes. It has been renewed for a second season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
