'Black Summer': Jaime King to star in Netflix's upcoming post-apocalyptic zombie series
Netflix continues the trend of creating spin-offs of shows airing on other networks with 'Black Summer', an offshoot of Syfy's post-apocalyptic horror series 'Z Nation'
Netflix's quest to add to its already vast library of originals shows no signs of abating with the streaming network giving the go-ahead for an eight-episode straight-to-series zombie drama titled 'Black Summer.' The show will feature Jaime King, known for her roles in 'Pearl Harbor,' 'Bulletproof Monk,' and 'Sin City,' in the titular role.
Deadline reports that King will be portraying a motherly role on the show. The series will see King torn from her daughter and embarking on a harrowing journey, stopping at nothing and no one to find her. Thrust alongside a small group of American refugees, she must brave a hostile new world and make brutal decisions during the most deadly zombie apocalypse summer.
