With its first episode, "Wheel of Fire," Station Eleven deviates from Mandel's novel in a big way. In the book, Jeevan helps Kirsten find her guardian in the wake of Arthur Leander's heart attack. That is the extent of their interaction. In the show, Jeevan offers to help young Kirsten (Matilda Lawler) get home after a performance of King Lear. As ...
Book readers will recognize St. Deborah-by-the-Water as one of the stops the Traveling Symphony makes on its journey. They visit the settlement early on in the novel to perform and reunite with two former troupe members, Charlie and Jeremy, who stayed there while the former was pregnant. When the troupe returns, the couple has fled because of the s...
Kirsten and Alexandra (Philippine Velge) meet a strange traveler named David (Daniel Zovatto) and his ward Cody (Luca Villacis). He hits the Traveling Symphony with a sob story, but Kirsten isn't buying it. She picks up on inconsistencies in his accounts, rightfully points out that he's creepy, then stabs him and leaves him for dead. Despite Kirste...
Miranda Carroll (Danielle Deadwyler) plays a big role in Station Eleven, given that she creates the comic from which the show and novel take their name. As well as being an artist, she is Arthur's first wife. Their meeting in the show differs greatly from their meeting in the books. However, their marriage follows many of the same beats, including ...
Station Eleven expands on Miranda's pandemic experience in its third episode, "Hurricane." In both versions, Miranda is in Malaysia when the pandemic hits. In the show, she attempts to escape from Malaysia on a tanker but stops when she learns of Arthur's death. She remains stuck in her hotel with her pitch partner Jim (Tim Simons), whose attempts ...
Station Eleven's fourth episode confirms that David, who we met in episode 2, is the show's version of the Prophet. There are a few key differences between book-Prophet and show-Prophet, though. In the book, the Prophet has already taken up residence in St. Deborah-by-the-Water, where he convinces the survivors of the pandemic that they're special....
When Kirsten recognizes the Prophet's philosophy as being similar to that of Station Eleven, she gets the Conductor (Lori Petty) to bring the Symphony's actors to the settlement of Pingtree, where she left her copy. Everything that happens at Pingtree, from meeting Gil (David Cross) to the Hamlet performance, is a show-only occurrence. Station Elev...
Episode 5, "The Severn City Airport," follows a group of survivors living in an airport through the early days of the pandemic. Among them are Arthur's friend Clark (David Wilmot) and second wife Elizabeth, as well as Arthur and Elizabeth's son Tyler (Julian Alberto Garcia). The episode adds some new characters to this storyline, including airport ...
The Severn episode reveals that David the Prophet is actually Tyler, Arthur Leander's son. In the book, Tyler becomes convinced that the pandemic happened for a reason, and he and Elizabeth leave the airport and begin assembling a following. The show complicates things quite a bit, starting with a possibly infected passenger making it off a strande...
Station Eleven's sixth episode, "Survival is Insufficient," is where the show really begins to diverge from Mandel's novel. After the Prophet's attack on Pingtree, Kirsten hunts him down. But instead of killing him, she reluctantly joins up with him. She'll get him into the Museum of Civilization. In return, he'll leave the Traveling Symphony alone...
