The series was created by Z Nation co-creator and executive producer Karl Schaefer alongside the flagship series' co-executive producer John Hyams.

Writing[edit]

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 vĩ đại 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.[11] 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."[12]

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 vĩ đại in Z Nation as the summer where everything went vĩ đại hell, sánh that is where Black Summer picks up."[12][13] 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."[13] 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 tự vĩ đại find her child? And what we learn is that she would tự anything." Hyams, who wrote the majority of the series' episodes, also said that the series would explore the idea of an American refugee crisis.[6][14] Schaefer, Abram Cox, and Daniel Schaefer will also write episodes for the series.[9]

Schaefer stated that the series is not going vĩ đại be episodic, but will instead be an 8-hour "chunk" vĩ đại work through.[11][13] This was confirmed by Binstock, who added that Black Summer would employ "a completely different approach" than vãn Z Nation, "in that it's much more lượt thích a chapter in a book. You don't necessarily tự the cliffhangers on a commercial break – it's keeping you going sánh that you've got vĩ đại binge it."[12]

Filming[edit]

Production for the first season had officially commenced by July 23, 2018 in and around Calgary, Alberta, with filming partially taking place at Queen Elizabeth High School, Stampede Park, McMahon Stadium and under the Calgary Tower.[15][7] The series continued production in the smaller communities of Irricana, Beiseker and Cochrane before returning vĩ đại Calgary in mid-to-late September.[7][6] On September 26, it was reported that King had been hospitalized for three days due vĩ đại injuries sustained while on phối, with King simultaneously confirming that production for the series had wrapped.[16] John Hyams directed the majority of the series' episodes.[14] Abram Cox will also serve as a director on the series.[9]

Connection vĩ đại Z Nation[edit]

The connection between Black Summer and its parent series takes a similar approach as the original relationship between Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead, as there are no plans for any of the characters from Z Nation vĩ đại appear in the companion prequel series.[9] Z Nation actor DJ Qualls revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that the Syfy series takes place "quite a long time" after the events of Black Summer, making him feel that the cast is "too old" for a crossover vĩ đại work.[13] The series tự share "most vĩ đại all of [their] writing, directing, and producing staff" as well as a production company, The Asylum.[3][9] The show's starring actress, Jaime King, has said that the two series have "nothing vĩ đại tự with" each other.[17]

Existential hell in the suburbs, stripped vĩ đại the bone."[19] The Thành Phố New York Times wrote, “If Andrei Tarkovsky and John Carpenter had teamed up vĩ đại direct a zombie show, it might have looked something lượt thích this formally daring Netflix series.”[20] In April 2019, Black Summer was the most watched show on Netflix in the United Kingdom.[19]
