There are more zombies in Syfy’s future. The cable channel has renewed their Friday night series Z Nation for a second season.
A horror TV show, Z Nation begins three years after a zombie virus has gutted the United States. A ragtag band of everyday people must work together to transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California to the last functioning viral lab. The cast includes Harold Perrineau, Tom Everett Scott, DJ Qualls, Kellita Smith, Michael Welch, Anastasia Baranova, Russell Hodgkinson, Pisay Pao, Nat Zang, and Keith Allan.
To date, the first season of the series has averaged 1.45 million viewers with a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic. It’s currently the cable channel’s highest-rated series in the demo.
The Z Nation Twitter feed broke the news of the renewal this way: “BREAKING: Ready for more z’s?! #ZNation has been picked up for a 2nd season on #Syfy!” No word yet on how many episodes have nbeen ordered yet.
What do you think? Do you like the Z Nation series? Do you glad that it’s been renewed for a second season or do you think it should have been cancelled instead?
“I’d pay money to see that again”!
I love Znation for the action each week and the comedy it brings. It could never replace the walking dead but it is still a close second in my opinion…Go SYFY great job and so glad the series will stick around…
I love this tv show
This last episode was awesome, can’t wait to see the next one 😀
I’m very happy that it has been renewed. It’s as good as The Walking Dead and in some ways better! I hop to see many seasons in the future!
Glad to hear it was renewed!
I luv Zombies. Make them terrifying, scary, funny, cheesy, I don’t care. I look forward to many future seasons of Z Nation. Haven’t missed an episode yet. This is why I like SyFy network. Their tongue in cheek approach to their story lines. I have been a fan of B movies and this network has made them in abundance. Thanks SyFy, keep on rocking with Z Nation!!
I love it i am very happy that it has been picked up for another season cant wait to watch !!
get Tom Everett Scott back into second season of z nation with national guard different character annd help them origial character and get murphy into california.. i love it this show.
I am veeeeeerrrry excited and looking foward to futu episodes.
This show is a joke. I can’t believe it’s being renewed. The zombie make-up is pathetic and their acting is awful. I watched the first episode and I couldn’t believe that people put money to bring this show to reality. I shouldn’t be surprised that the people that brought you Sharknado created this show. It is laughable.
Since you only watched the first episode you missed the “zomnado” that was in one of the last episodes. I would remind you that this is a lower budget company but I think they are doing a great job with the amount of resources they are given. The acting is pretty good from the main characters but I have to agree that the amazingly speedy zombies are very “tongue in cheek” but this adds to both the suspense and comedy of the series. I love Z Nation because they have an excellent storyline. Keep up the good work guys!
Yes, the acting from soldier (hennigan??) in Ep 1 was kind of crappy, but he was okay in his movie roles of yore. The episode wasn’t all crap though, and the rest of the actors did good, most known from big name films. If you watched Ep2 and up, you might like it more.. This show is a comedy and not a horror based show.. This show doesn’t pretend to be real like TWD does, but rather parodies zombie movie cliches of the past. The budget of this show is not even a tenth of TWD, so to compare it… Read more »
Hey, MC – you need to go find my pretty in- depth review of Z here on tvseriesfinale.com. Seriously. I felt like you after the first episode, but unlike you, I pushed on to the end. This turned out to be a stunning show, much to my snotty surprise. But, to give your opinion after one episode is, well, just plain wrong!!! In my opinion.
I think the show is great, and though the acting isn’t top notch, it’s gotten immensely better week-to-week. I also love the Walking Dead, but one main thing Z Nation has over the Walking Dead (hands down) is that Z Nation never hits a boring second; WD tends to become stagnant and stale when the characters settle down (anyone actually like the second season on the farm?). That said, Z Nation also feels more post-apocalyptic and scary, whereas the WD’s zombies are so slow and bleh, you can pretty much eliminate them from the show and you’d barely notice; it… Read more »
This show is getting better. They are not afraid to kill off what are main characters. In the beginning it was like a bad zombie joke. I will continue to watch as they struggle with their survival. I hope the quality of the show continues to go up. The Walking Dead has nothing to worry about but this show has a lot of possibilities to remain on TV for years.
I was shocked they killed off the character they did last week. So far I’m impressed with this series
Love this show and so happy this entertaining, amusing show has been renewed for 2nd season.
I’m glad it’s being continued. Good show.
I love this series, it’s a zombie road trip!!!!!!! They love to mess with your mind and in true zombie fashion, nobody is safe! We are slowly losing all of the better known actors so now they have to rely on good writing for these characters. The remaining actors are doing a great job so SYFY don’t screw it up!
I got bored with zombie TV shows and movies, but I love z nation! I watch it every week, sometimes twice!
