DailyDead on Black Summer

[froodle]

As Bananarama would say, it's a "cruel, cruel summer" in the early days of the zombie apocalypse in the official trailer for Black Summer, a prequel series that takes place in the same living dead universe as Z Nation.

Co-created by Karl Schaefer (co-creator of both Z Nation and Eerie, Indiana) and John Hyams, all eight episodes of the first season of Black Summer will premiere on Netflix on April 11th.

Although Black Summer takes place in the same world as Z Nation, the tone of the new series looks to be decidedly more dark than the horror comedy style of its predecessor, and you can get a taste of what to expect in the official trailer below.



"A prequel set in the Z Nation universe, Black Summer is a new series introducing all new characters from every walk of life. Jamie King (Hart of Dixie) stars as a mother, torn from her daughter, who embarks upon a harrowing journey, stopping at nothing to find her. Thrust alongside a small group of American refugees, she must brave a hostile new world and make brutal decisions during the most deadly summer of a zombie apocalypse."

Me, too! We didn't hear anything for months, so I'm so happy it's almost a reality.

Also, YES for being able to binge it. I got the last two seasons of z nation on the amazon season pass that drops an episode a.week and they were dark times. Dark. Slow. Clifhangery. Times.
