McKinley Franklin editor Edward Hume, the Emmy-nominated writer of “The Day After” and creator of “The Streets of San Francisco,” has died, his rep confirmed to Variety.
He was 87. Hume was known for his work on the critically acclaimed, 1983 sci-fi TV movie “The Day After,” which was nominated for a total of 10 Emmys and won two.
The nuclear war-centric film is regarded as the most-watched TV movie of all time, being seen by over 100 million U.S. viewers.
It notably was the first American film to be released in the Soviet Union, launching in 35 countries in 17 languages. “There can be no doubt about the size of Earth’s debt to Edward Hume,” said Nicholas Meyer, the director of “The Day After.” Hume was born in Chicago, Ill., on May 18, 1936.
