This show is set three years after the zombie virus has gutted the country, and a team of everyday heroes must transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood. Although the antibodies he carries are the world's last, best hope for a vaccine, he hides a dark secret that threatens them all. With humankind's survival at stake, the ragtag band embarks on a journey of survival across three thousand miles of rusted-out post-apocalyptic America.
The challenge used to be finding enough decent shows to watch, now the challenge is finding the time to watch all these amazing shows!!
Haha, ain't that the truth!!

Nothing like an early morning tweet to start your day. :)
I received an interesting one early this morning about Black Summer season 2 probabilities, and it's connection to Z Nation; which BTW is a big fat zero! Like so many others, —myself included— early reputable sources led us to believe that Black Summer was supposed to be a prequel to Z Nation. I must admit that even after hearing that across several sources I was still skeptical because of how over-the-top Z Nation is, and it's kind of hard to envision a white-knuckle horror-drama set in the same universe as Z Nation.
During an interview with Screen Rant, King made it clear that the Netflix series isn't connected to Syfy's Z Nation, which was cancelled last year after five seasons.
"It's interesting because people started tying to Z Nation and I'm like this has nothing to do with that. It's not a link," she said.
"I had never actually seen Z Nation or heard about Z Nation, but I have friends who absolutely love that show, and then people started putting it out there that it was like a prequel of Z-Nation, which it's not... And really there is no relationship, but the relationship is it came from the people that were involved with Z Nation."
Black Summer co-creator Karl Schaefer was also behind Z Nation, and both shows were produced by The Asylum.
John Hyams, who directs Black Summer, also directed several episodes of Nation.
Those that have already seen Black Summer say it's by far one of the most original takes on zombie fiction since 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead than anything else —which is perfect for me— and since the season is only eight episodes, it feels longer than it needs to be, but still doesn't feel like its overstaying its welcome. I'll give it a spin eventually, once I'm done with what's currently on my plate, —Doom Patrol/Love, Death & Robots— but once those shows are complete, I'll be starting my Black Summer binge. :D

It got repetative, just like the walking dead. Thiers better shows that deserved to be renewed, it was fun whilst it lasted
The first four seasons of Z Nation were brilliant IMO. In hindsight season five, on the other hand, wasn't as good but unfortunately, repetitiveness wasn't one of its weak spots. Ironically what season five needed was a repeat of the formula that was used in seasons 1-4 because trading in the craziness for the laziness, the puntastic for the political, and the pure fun for the outright *zZzZz*.... didn't do it any favors in the end. Speaking of which, WTF was that ending about?? Bottom line is that Z Nation took itself too seriously its fifth time around and the characters dynamics suffered immensely because of it. Regardless, four fantastic seasons and one mediocre one is still pretty great in my book.

I LOVED IT, AS I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD. I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE SEASONS, I do believe that one day the apocalypse that has bee. spoken about century's ago will happen and those who don't think so won't be ready. either way it goes I so loved the show and was upset that season 5 episode 13 ended. There needs to be more.
Well, there's always Black Summer to look forward to. It will premiere on Netflix on April 11th, 2019. It won't be anything like Z Nation from what those involved have disclosed. No humor. Nothing tongue in cheek. It will be a unique, and intense Zombie Apocalypse show! Keep in mind Netflix has stated that there is a chance they will pick up Z Nation but that also depends on how Black Summer turns out. They also started streaming season five episodes back in January, so I'm sure those numbers will come into play at some point. I mean don't get it twisted, Netflix has a really good relationship with The Asylum (go figure), they already have the rights to stream the series, and they clearly see this as a worthwhile show, with an avid and loyal fanbase, otherwise, they would've never moved forward with the prequel to begin with.

I agree. Another season wasn't really needed... which is not something I can say about https://next-episode.net/marvels-the-punisher !
