SyFy has renewed Z Nation for a second season, EW has confirmed.
The renewal news has come in the midst of the show’s first season, which has achieved consistent, yet middling ratings since its series premiere. In spite of the non-Walking Dead numbers, SyFy is putting its weight behind the zombie drama.
The show centers on a post-zombie apocalypse that has ravaged the United States, where a group is tasked with transporting the sole survivor of a zombie wound to a lab across the country so that his antibodies can create a vaccine to save humankind.
Z Nation airs Fridays at 10 p.m. E.T. on SyFy.
Thanks to a zombie virus, civilization has collapsed and extinction threatens the human race. One group of survivors may hold the cure, but must make their way to a California lab to test it. Follow their journey below – and, to the right, monitor dispatches from Citizen Z, sole survivor of an Arctic listening post who acts as the survivors' "eyes and ears" using society's last remaining tech.
