Post-apocalyptic fiction is alive and well on traditional television and streaming video services.
Even after the finale of Syfy vampire apocalypse series “Van Helsing” on June 25, there are still 12 post-apocalyptic themed television shows airing.
Active shows include four zombie apocalypse series (AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” “Fear the Walking Dead” and “The Walking Dead: World Beyond,” and Netflix’s “Black Summer”).
Including “Black Summer,” Netflix has six post-apocalyptic series. The others are “Into the Night,” “To the Lake,” “Sweet Home,” “Tribes of Europa” and “Sweet Tooth.” Those shows depict a range of end-of-the-world scenarios including deadly solar radiation, diseases, and monsters.
The other post-apocalyptic series currently running include “See” on Apple TV+, “War of the Worlds” on Epix and “Snowpiercer” on TNT.
More such shows are coming soon. “Y: The Last Man” premieres on Hulu on Sept. 13. Apple TV+ will premiere “Invasion” on Oct. 22. And HBO Max has “Station Eleven” queued up in the near future.
