Terra Nova – the time-travelling, prehistoric drama that FOX picked up for mid-season has hired a director. According to EW, Alex Graves, who has worked on West Wing, Journey Man and Fringe (he directed the Pilot), will direct the series that follows a family 130 years in the future on a dying planet as they travel back to prehistoric earth in search of a second chance for civilization.

For those who you have may have missed the premise outline:

A large group of settlers are preparing to leave the apocalyptic world they live in to time travel back millions of years via a massive, high-tech contraption. Their goal is to see trees, enjoy a blue sky, eat real food – basically, to start over in this so-called Eden. But what they find is unlike anything they were expecting.

You can also find the official description here.

Terra Nova has already received a 13-episode order from Fox, and will likely begin filming this summer in Australia. According to Deadline, the network hope to launch the show a week after the Super Bowl to give it maximum exposure.
