What Is Black Summer About?
Black Summer is an American zombie apocalypse horror drama television series created by Karl Schaefer and John Hyams. It serves as a spin-off and prequel to Z Nation, though it takes a considerably bleaker approach with far less comedy woven into the narrative.
Despite its widespread popularity, the series only lasted two seasons from 2019 to 2021, yet audiences continue to find it as it remains available to stream on the platform. There are 16 episodes in total to watch.
The story centres on the evacuation of a city amidst a zombie apocalypse. The narrative follows Rose (Jaime King), who becomes separated from her daughter, Anna, and embarks on a gruelling quest to find her. She finds herself among a small band of refugees in North America, forced to navigate a treacherous new world. As the deadliest summer of the apocalypse takes hold, she must also face a series of gruelling decisions.
