"Extant" se centra en Molly Watts (Halle Berry), una astronauta que, tras pasar un año en el espacio, regresa a la tierra tratando de retomar el contacto con su familia, de la que poco sabe desde entonces.

Las vivencias de la protagonista desde el momento de su partida a la galaxia estarán relacionadas con una serie de sucesos que tendrán consecuencias con el cambio de dirección de la historia de la humanidad.
La serie es un thriller furista, producido por el oscarizado Steven Spielberg ('Falling Skies', 'La Cúpula'), Amblin Television y CBS Television Studios, que tendrá elementos de fantasía y de ciencia-ficción. Está protagonizada por Halle Berry ('X-Men: Días del futuro pasado'), Pierce Gagnon ('Looper'), Hiroyuki Sanada ('Helix') y Camryn Manheim ('¿Y dónde están los hombres?')
