A plane crash strands two strangers on a frozen mountain, and one of them wasn’t supposed to survive at all.
Quibi dropped the official trailer for Survive on March 23, 2020, giving the first real look at its flagship drama thriller ahead of the streamer’s launch. The series stars Sophie Turner as a woman who boards a doomed flight while planning to end her own life, only to be thrown into a fight for survival she never expected to have. Corey Hawkins co-stars as the only other passenger left standing after the wreckage settles on a remote, snow-buried mountainside.
- The trailer, released March 23, 2020, expands on Jane’s mental state before the crash and her shift toward wanting to live once she’s stranded.
- Survive is directed by Mark Pellington and written by Richard Abate and Jeremy Ungar, adapting Alex Morel’s novel of the same name.
- The series debuts April 6, 2020, timed to the launch of the Quibi platform, and is produced by Gunpowder & Sky for Quibi’s under-ten-minute episode format.
The Setup: A Suicide Attempt Interrupted by Disaster
Jane, played by Turner, is dealing with severe depression, unresolved trauma, and suicidal ideation as the story opens. She boards a commercial flight with plans to take her own life, but the plane goes down on an isolated, frozen mountain before she ever gets the chance. Paul, played by Hawkins, turns out to be the only other person who makes it out of the wreckage alive, and the two are left to figure out how to get off the mountain together.
Two Survivors, One Brutal Trek
Once the crash sequence ends, Survive becomes a two-hander built around Jane and Paul navigating subzero conditions, injuries, and the psychological weight of what they just lived through. The trailer leans into the physical stakes of the wilderness trek while also tracking Jane’s internal shift — a woman who didn’t want to be alive now has to actively fight to stay that way. That contrast is the engine of the show: the same disaster that should have killed her ends up giving her a reason to keep going.
She got on that plane to die. She’s the one who walks off the mountain.
Behind the Camera
Mark Pellington directs the series, with Richard Abate and Jeremy Ungar adapting Alex Morel’s novel for the screen. Gunpowder & Sky produced the show specifically for Quibi’s format, which chops episodes down to bite-sized runtimes under ten minutes — a structural choice that turns the crash-and-survival narrative into a string of tense, quick-hit chapters rather than one long sit. It’s a notably heavy subject for a platform built around mobile, on-the-go viewing, and Survive was positioned as one of the titles meant to prove Quibi’s short-form model could carry real dramatic weight.
A Launch-Day Title for a New Platform
Survive isn’t just another entry in a crowded slate of 2020 thriller trailers — alongside titles like Ava and Becky, it’s part of a wave of survival and action stories built around women pushed into extremes. But Survive carries the added job of being a launch-week showcase for Quibi itself, arriving April 6, 2020 as the platform goes live for the first time.
That April 6 date is the one to watch. Quibi is betting that a mountain survival story chopped into short episodes can hold an audience used to full-length streaming, and Survive is one of the first tests of whether that bet pays off.
