Netflix's "The Eternaut" teaser plunges humanity into icy alien apocalypse based on comic

The classic Argentine graphic novel The Eternaut is getting a chilling new series adaptation, and Netflix has unveiled the first look teaser previewing an icy alien apocalypse ahead.

Netflix premieres The Eternaut globally on April 30, 2025.

In the series, “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.”

To reiterate, the snow is actually radioactive, released as part of an alien invasion that slowly reveals itself in this apocalyptic scenario. The series marks the first screen adaptation of the sci-fi graphic novel written by Héctor G. Oesterheld and illustrated by Francisco Solano Lopez, first published in 1957.
