A.R.I.D. is a drama web-series containing elements of science fiction and the supernatural. The first season is set at 12 episodes at 8-10 minutes in length. It follows the journey of 10 unique individuals left stranded and alone on Earth. Each episode features a specific character, as they search for answers and fight to stay alive.
A.R.I.D. can be compared to “Lost” and “The 100,” meets the “Walking Dead” without the zombies.
