Black Summer's Very Manageable Runtime Is A Television Blessing
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 76% based on 17 reviews, with an average rating of 6/10. The website's critical consensus reads, Black Summer has enough undead carnage and a sinewy pace to please zombie fans, but the series suffers from scant characterization and doesn't add much storytelling meat to the genre's gnawed-on bone.“ On the positive end of the spectrum, Stephen Kingpraised Black Summer, stating: Just when you think there's no more scare left in zombies, THIS comes along. Existential hell in the suburbs, stripped to the bone. The New York Times wrote, “If Andrei Tarkovsky and John Carpenter had teamed up to direct a zombie show, it might have looked something like this formally daring Netflix series.”
On July 19, 2018, it was reported that Netflix had given an 8-episode, straight-to-series order for a spin-off prequel series to Syfy's Z Nation, titled Black Summer. The series was created by Z Nation co-creator and executive producer Karl Schaefer alongside the flagship series' co-executive producer John Hyams. Schaefer and Hyams also serve as showrunners for the prequel series. On November 20, 2019, the series was renewed for a second season which will consist 8 episodes.
At the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con, Schaefer noted that Black Summer is before the apocalypse got weird and was just scary. He said that the horror series is not intended to be the funny version of The Walking Dead that Z Nation is, but would instead be more of an old-school take on zombie lore. This was echoed by producer Jodi Binstock, who stated that the series is not tongue-in-cheek, it's very very serious: it's as if the zombie apocalypse really happened in 2018 and explores what that would be for all of us.
Black Summer (season 1)
As the series does not feature any of the characters from Z Nation, Binstock later distanced the series from the spin-off label, explaining that Black Summer is referred to in Z Nation as the summer where everything went to hell, so that is where Black Summer picks up. Elaborating, Schaefer described the events of Black Summer as the low point of the apocalypse and established it as taking place about four months into the apocalypse, [...] when 95% of the population dies over the course of the summer. Within that context, Hyams stated that the essence of the story is about a mother being separated from her daughter. The story is: what would a mother do to find her child? And what we learn is that she would do anything. Hyams, who wrote the majority of the series' episodes, also said that the series would explore the idea of an American refugee crisis. Schaefer, Abram Cox, and Daniel Schaefer will also write episodes for the series.
Schaefer stated that the series is not going to be episodic, but will instead be an 8-hour chunk to work through. This was confirmed by Binstock, who added that Black Summer would employ a completely different approach than Z Nation, in that it's much more like a chapter in a book. You don't necessarily do the cliffhangers on a commercial break – it's keeping you going so that you've got to binge it.
Alongside the series' order in July 2018, Jaime King was confirmed to star in the lead role. On July 29, King announced via her Instagram account that Justin Chu Cary would portray a character named Spears. On August 7, Kelsey Flower revealed that he had joined the cast as Lance and described his character as the guy that's terrible at the Apocalypse. You'd think he'd be the first to die. On August 16, Gwynyth Walsh and Christine Lee were reported to have joined the cast in undisclosed roles. On October 13, it was reported that deaf Syrian refugee Mustafa Alabssi had been cast as Ryan, a deaf character. Sal Velez, Jr. will also star in the series as William Velez. Erika Hau will have a recurring role in the series. Upon release of the series' first trailer, it was reported that Aidan Fink and Kash Hill would also star in the series.
