An apocalyptic zombie series based on Brian Ralph’s Daybreak graphic novel is in the works at Netflix.
Per Deadline, Netflix has given a 10-episode order for the series, which is described as a subversive dark zombie comedy. Aron Eli Coleite (Star Trek: Discovery, Heroes) will serve as showrunner and executive produce, with Brad Peyton (Rampage) directing and executive producing as well.
The story follows a 17-year-old high school outcast named Josh who goes searching for his missing girlfriend Sam in post-apocalyptic Glendale, California. He’ll be joined by a few of his eccentric friends, including a 12-year-old pyromaniac named Angelica and Josh’s former high school bully Wesley, who’s now a pacifist samurai.
