Black Summer is a prequel to Z Nation and is set in the same universe as the horror series.

Z Nation was set three years into a zombie apocalypse whereas Black Summer follows the very beginnings.

The fifth and final season of Z Nation concluded in December 2018 on Syfy.

Schaefer said: “Black Summer is before the apocalypse got weird and was just scary.”

No character from Z Nation appears in Black Summer on Netflix.

Speaking to Mandy News about Black Summer, producer and director Jodi Linstock said: “It's interesting, in the series that I'm producing for Netflix, Black Summer, we've taken a completely different approach 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.

“Black Summer in its inception was originally thought of as a spin off of Z Nation but it's not exactly.

“Black Summer is referred to in Z Nation as the summer where everything went to hell, so that is where Black Summer picks up.”
