Zombie shows are all the rage these days. “The Walking Dead” started a trend a decade ago that is still going strong all these years later. Netflix released a show featuring zombies earlier this year called “Black Summer.” It was a big hit with viewers. The streaming giant has just officially renewed the series for a second season. Netflix has been investing a lot of money into original content these days. They have been trying to create original shows that fit into all genres. Therefore, they will be able to attract the largest amount of viewers possible. “Black Summer” is only one of several horror shows that Netflix is releasing this year.
“Black Summer” is a spinoff of another zombie show called “Z Nation” that ran for five seasons on Syfy. There is a huge demand for zombie shows right now. Audiences just can’t seem to get enough. Netflix has said that the response to the show was very good. Therefore, it was a very easy decision to renew it for a second season. The show is filmed with a relatively modest budget. That is another reason why Netflix decided to keep it around. It is not nearly as expensive as some of the other shows that Netflix has been producing over the past few years.
“Black Summer” tells the story of a woman who is trying to get reunited with her daughter during the early stages of a zombie apocalypse. The details about where the second season will go have been very limited at best. Netflix has had a large amount of success in the past with shows that involve an element of horror. For example, the most successful show on Netflix is “Stranger Things.” This has been a global smash hit that will have its fourth season in 2020. They will also be introducing the highly anticipated series starring Henry Cavill called “The Witcher” in December. He plays a person who hunts monsters and demons.
Netflix has teased other horror shows that are on the way. There is no question that horror is one of the most popular genres that the company is offering at the present time. The second season of “Black Summer” will be coming out at some point in 2020. However, an exact release date was not given by Netflix. There has also not been any news about any of the new casting decisions that have been made.
