Extant Definition
The Hollywood Reporter interviewed Halle Berry and asked her what does the word "Extant" means. She replied, "It means to be in existence. The name is great because that's what our show is about is fighting to stay alive."
Miss Berry adds, "At the end of the day, we are going to be fighting for humanity to exist. I don't think there could be a better title actually."
