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?
Z-Nation is a refreshingly different spin on the zombie apocalypse that offers more genuine surprises than The Walking Dead which has become rather formulaic. Also, many viewers appreciate the inclusion of a goal spurring the group forward rather than aimlessly wandering about hoping merely to survive. In my opinion, Z-Nation was just picking up steam whereas The Walking Dead is showing signs of decomposition. Bottom line-DO NOT CANCEL !
I bought season 1 at Walmart. I knew nothing about it. It is a great show. I really relate to the characters. As good as The Walking Dead.
I dont think they should have ever canceled the Z Nation in the first place!!!
I just watched the entire series on Netflix, and was surprised at how much better I like it than the walking dead. The story has a more hopeful premise and the help of the guy in Alaska is a very unique twist. I think it’s an awesome series and I look for a second season. Just sad we don’t have Tom Everett Scott, (he is the reason I chose to watch it in the first place) but the rest of the cast are remarkably great.
I love the cast every episode is more and more interesting. Better than Walking Dead bring season 2 on Now.
I liked Z Nation better than Walking Dead.
It had more action in it. Can’t wait till it comes back on.
Couldn’t Agree More.I have always said,.Walking Dead might be what life would Really be like if the Flesh Munchers climbed out the ground,but Z Nation is how we’d all LIKE it to be.If this is the Apocalypse then sign Me up.
can’t wait send me a email when starts please
Z NATION show beats the Walking Dead TV show not to say that The Walking Dead is not a good show. Z NATION gives you more gory scenes and Zombies that move faster and are stronger then the Walking Dead’s TV show. I would be upset if you removed Z NATION. It’s ratings are high so therefore the show should stay.
I would put this as one of the best zombie show right along with the walking dead I CANT WAIT TELL IT COMES BACK!!!
They had better not cancel it. This show is awesome. I do love “The Walking Dead” but this offers a much different view of a Zombie Apocalypse, we have a more down to earth group, they are like real survivors they even laugh. Love this series
can’t wait
Z Nation returns september 2015

Some info regarding season 2. We will get some episodes dated pre-apocalypse. Giving us more info on the characters. Keith Allan will (according to pictures) return as Murphy. There will also be more people who are like Murphy. If this means Cassandra or someone else, we don’t know yet. Plans are to make 5 seasons of Z Nation. If we are lucky!
