What Is Black Summer About?
Black Summer is an American zombie apocalypse horror drama developed by Karl Schaefer and John Hyams. It serves as a prequel and spin-off to the series Z Nation, though it is considered much darker and less comedic in tone.
The show ran for two seasons between 2019 and 2021, with 16 episodes in total, and remains available to stream on the platform. The story follows Rose (Jaime King), who becomes separated from her daughter, Anna, during the evacuation of a city and embarks on a harrowing journey to find her, navigating a hostile new world with a small group of refugees as the deadliest summer of the apocalypse unfolds.
