Black Summer is an American television series. It was created by John Hyams and Karl Schaefer. The story is set six weeks after a zombie apocalypse. Rose, a mother who’s been separated from her daughter, named Anna, sets out on a journey to find her. Stuck with a rather small group of refugees in North America, she battles through the conditions and makes brutal decisions to survive the deadliest summer of the apocalypse.
The show was first released on Netflix on the 11th of April 2019. It is produced by The Asylum. They were also behind the show Z Nation. Black Summer was written predominantly by John Hyams, with additional episodes being written and directed by Abram Cox.
Black Summer Season 3, When will it Release?
Netflix had previously announced the renewal and premier date of Black Summer Season 3. But currently there is no release of the show Black Summer Season 3.
The show was a hit, and we loved it. We wanted more of it, which was easily conveyed, based on the popularity this show got. But unfortunately, there is no current update from Netflix on the making of this show.
It can be stated that the season 3 of Black Summer still has a pending verdict, pertaining to its creation. The show needs a green signal from its producers first for the shooting to start. We all are currently waiting for that announcement, from the OTT platform Netflix itself. Till then, we can keep hoping that the show gets the green flag that it needs.
The Plot for Season 3
Unlike Season 1 which answered all its questions as it came to a close, Season 2 has a lot of cliffhangers. Season 2 centered around the survivors getting to the airstrip. They planned to onboard the plane that was dropping supplies around there and get somewhere safe.
Only Sun, of all the survivors that got to the airstrip, managed to board the plane. Season 3 should answer if Sun got somewhere safe.
The fate of Rose and Anna also remains to be seen. After Rose injured her leg, Anna chose to stick with her and now the two of them need to figure out what to do, with the plane gone. Rose is losing motivation to survive the apocalypse. Anna however is strong as ever and determined to survive. Will Anna be able to take Rose over the top to survive or will Rose not make it through? This is another question that will need to be answered.
The Cast
The expected cast includes Jaime King playing Rose, Christine Lee as Ooh Kyungsun (Sun), Zoe Marlett playing Anna, Jesse Lipscombe as Mance, Bobby Naderi’s Ray was severely injured when Rose shot the fuel barrels, so we’re not sure if he’ll be back.
The Brains Behind the Show
Black Summer was, as mentioned above, created by two men Karl Schaefer and John Hyams. Hyams was in charge of writing and directing most of the episodes with additional episodes being done by Abram Cox. The production is done by The Asylum. Z Nation, which is more like a parent show, has a relationship with Black Summer in certain ways. There will most likely not be any crossovers as both shows are timed very far apart, although they do share the same production, writing, and directing staff. The relationship takes a similar approach to that between Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead.
Where to Watch Season 1 and 2?
Black Summer Season 1 and 2 are available on Netflix and so will the new season on the release date. Episodes should air every week just like the previous seasons. I recommend watching Black Summer from the first season as it sure is worth it.
No season 3 is available as if 6/23/22. Any updates on it?
Right, I been waiting
Netflix sux.. they do this with everything that is good. Remember the punisher? It was great! Forgot his name, but ricks deputy pal from walking dead played punisher. After 2 seasons, great reviews, awesome action flick. What happened? CANCELLED! so dont be surprised if it doesn’t have S3. That’s why i cancelled netflix 3 yrs ago, a ton of peeps cancelled last week for another reason. Its not smart entertainment to cancel what ppl like
iT WASNT NETFLIX’S FAULT FOR THE PUNISHER. THE RIGHTS TO PUNISHER, AS WITH ALL OF THE MARVEL CHARACTER BASED SHOWS WERE BEING PULLED BACK TO DISNEY (BY DISNEY) SO THEY COULD DO WHAT THEY WANTED WITH ALL OF THEIR IP’s. REALLY THE ONLY ONE THAT THEY CANT GET BACK AT THE MOMENT IS SPIDERMAN, WHICH SONY HAS THE RIGHTS TO – BUT DOES HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH DISNEY TO USE IT TO SOME EXTENT IN FILM AND TV.
OTHER THAN THAT, I AGREE ON THE PROPERTIES THAT THEY DO PROP UP ON THEIR OWN, AND HAVE THE CAPACITY TO. z-nATION SUCKS, BUT BLACK SUMMER IS GOOD, AND THEY SHOULD REALLY FOCUS ON IT A BIT MORE – ESPECIALLY SINCE WALKING DEAD IS DONE. THEY ALSO NEED TO DO MORE EPISODES PER SEASON, AND KEEP THE EPISODE LENGTH CONSISTENT. i WAS WATCHING THE OTHER NIGHT, AND A FEW OF THE EPISODES ARE LITERALLY 20-30 mins. i THINK THE STADIUM EPISODE WAS THE SHORTEST ONE.
Hey do u guys mean June of 2023 as season 3 release date? Because it says June of 2033..
I meant..it says June of 2022
