The clip is in French, so Big Thanks to Kimon for the help translating the interview and providing us with the information!

The Poster reads:
From the creator of the X-Files
Chris Carter's "THE AFTER"
What happens when the end is now?
13 x one-hour
In fact it's not apocalyptic, it's very apocalyptic. In fact it's the first five seconds when it begins, the five minutes, the five hours, the five days, the five weeks. Normally, films -- and even series, like "Revolution", but films normally -- they jump a period of ten years, twenty years, something that is ahead. Because you want special effects, production design, things like that. But with us, it's really reality, it's what happens if you and me we are here, something happens outside and we find ourselves in the middle of we don't know, if it's aliens, if it's biblical, if it's supernatural, Ã la Chris Carter in the X-Files.
Each week our group of characters will try to find exactly what's going on. But as it's Chris Carter we're going to do twists and turns I think with the mythology. In fact it's -- he's going to say the same thing -- it's the closest to the X-Files compared to anything else he's done today. It's because there's a secret with what's going on, supernaturally or otherwise, and characters who are trying to find that out. At the same time they have missions themselves: to find the family of one of them, to find medicine for another, and for that they hold on together throughout the whole series.
We are going to see the voyage between Los Angeles and New York in the first season, and afterwards we have twists and twists that Chris invented. I think that the audience who liked the X-Files will like this show here.
