This September, IGN is highlighting the best TV airing in the 2019-2020 season. Today, we’re featuring Netflix’s apocalyptic comedy Daybreak, starring Colin Ford, Sophie Simnett, Austin Crute, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Cody Kearsley, Matthew Broderick, and Krysta Rodriguez. Here’s how the streamer describes the show: “High school isn’t the end of the world… until it is. In this post-apocalyptic, genre-bending series, the city of Glendale, California is populated by marauding gangs of jocks, gamers, the 4-H Club, and other fearsome tribes who are kicking ass as they fight to survive in the wake of a nuclear blast. Following an eclectic group of survivors as they navigate this strange and treacherous world, Daybreak is part samurai saga, part endearing coming-of-age story, and part Battle Royale.” We spoke to co-creator and showrunner Aron Eli Coleite about this deranged twist on a familiar genre, loosely based on the comic by Brian Ralph.
