What’s This TV Show About?
A Netflix apocalyptic drama, Black Summer stars Jaime King, Justin Chu Cary, Kelsey Flower, Gwynyth Walsh, Christine Lee, Mustafa Alabssi, Erika Hau, Sal Velez, Jr., Edsson Morales, Aidan Fink, and Kash Hill. Although King disputes it, it is widely recognized as a prequel to cancelled Syfy series Z Nation and is from the same creative team. Unfolding in the early days of the zombie apocalypse, the story centers on Rose (King), a mother who was torn away from her daughter. There’s nothing Rose will not do to reunite with her child. She and a ragtag company of American refugees must battle through brutal conditions during a summer of hell.
Black Summer has been renewed for a second season which will debut (TBD). Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether Netflix will cancel or renew Black Summer for season two. A little bird recently told me that if Netflix hasn’t decided to renew a given series within 28 days, a cancellation is more likely. Now remember a decision isn’t an announcement, so that won’t always translate to the world knowing a show’s fate quite that soon. Also, since it’s no guarantee one way or another, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and press releases and update this page with breaking developments.
