If you're a fan of the zombie subgenre, Black Summer should be right in your wheelhouse. It's a bleak, fast-paced action drama heavy on the action and light on the personal drama. It's just straight-up, kick-you-in-the-mouth zombie horror, and it is metal AF.
Syfy has canceled the zombie drama after five seasons. The Dec. 28 season-ender will now serve as its series finale. The cabler confirmed its decision to end the show after producer David Michael Latt first announced the news in a video on social media.

Black Summer is a spin-off prequel to SYFY's Z Nation. Unlike Z Nation, which is set during a time when the apocalypse is in full force and life in this new society is weird and oddly funny, Black Summer is an old-school zombie drama set at the beginning of the apocalypse.

Even though both zombie thrillers come from the same universe, fans of Z Nation may feel like Black Summer lacks the dark humor that made the original series stand out. During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, co-creator Karl Schaefer explained that "Black Summer is before the apocalypse got weird and was just scary."

The dog does NOT die though you think she does at first (implied). What actually happens is a spoiler for the plot but the dog is eventually found safe and sound by the owner.
The girl is revealed to be Rose's daughter who gleefully runs towards her mother before the episode fades to black. While the ending is happy, the taste is bittersweet. Most of our survivors are dead or in Lance's case soon to be dead, but the survivors within the stadium are now trapped.
Black Summer was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Calgary is Alberta's largest city and was home to the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. Filming began in July 2018 and wrapped up in September 2018. Notable filming locations include the Calgary Tower and Queen Elizabeth School.

Although Black Summer feels like a refreshing take on the zombie thriller genre, you might have heard that the Netflix series is related to the Syfy show, Z Nation. As it turns out, Black Summer and Z Nation occur in the same universe and the new Netflix show can be seen as a prequel.
Black Summer star Jaime King explains why Sun's dialogue has no subtitles. "We are inherently connected." Set during the early days of a zombie outbreak, Jaime King stars as a mother who joins a group of refugees to find her daughter. It's vaguely similar to The Walking Dead, or perhaps its spin-off Fear.
