Deep into the pandemic, as most of the world existed behind closed doors, TV decided it was time to reinvent the Lost era. Two variations of a plane crash storyline were born. The Wilds took a unique approach in 2020, following a group of unsuspecting girls who become stranded on an island for experimental purposes. Then 2021’s Yellowjackets had a more traditional angle, following an all-girl soccer team whose fight for survival turns them into ruthless cannibals. Just when we thought all iterations of this narrative were exhausted, Netflix has now decided to have its fun.
In the six-episode limited series, Keep Breathing – from co-creators Brendan Gall and Martin Gero (The Lovebirds) – Liv (In the Heights star Melissa Barrera), a New York security litigations lawyer, finds herself the lone survivor of a plane crash. Stranded in the Canadian wilderness, she must brave the elements as well as her inner demons in order to stay alive.
