Earth 2 is an American science fiction television series that aired on NBC from November 6, 1994, to June 4, 1995.[1] The show was canceled after one season of 21 episodes.[2] It follows the journey and settlement of a small expeditionary group called the Eden Project, with the intent to journey to an Earth-like planet called G889 in an attempt to find a cure to an illness called "the syndrome". The series was created by Billy Ray, Michael Duggan, Carol Flint, and Mark Levin, produced by Amblin Entertainment and Universal Television,[3] and filmed primarily in northern New Mexico around the Santa Fe area.[4][5] The series' music was composed by David Bergeaud, and the executive producers were Duggan, Levin, and Flint.

The show had a successful premiere, reaching eighth place for the week;[6] however, ratings dropped off quickly as the Nielsen ratings share had dropped from 23% to 9%.[7] During its run, it had been nominated for a Primetime Emmy,[8] Saturn,[9] and other awards. In 2005, the entire series was released on DVD in a four-disc set.[10]
