Netflix is keeping post-apocalyptic themed TV going

Since Netflix began producing original content, it has aired 11 post-apocalyptic themed television series. That’s considerably more than other TV channels and streaming services.
Those Netflix shows and miniseries have included “The Rain,” “3%,” “Black Summer,” “Daybreak,” “Into the Night,” “Reality Z,” “To the Lake,” “Sweet Home,” “Tribes of Europa,” “Sweet Tooth” and “The Silent Sea.” Only three of those are in English.
Netflix likely makes post-apocalyptic shows because they play well in international markets.
However, Netflix often stays mum on whether its shows will continue or are canceled. So, it’s hard to know how many of those series are still in production for new episodes. I personally hope to see new episodes of “Black Summer,” “Into the Night,” “To the Lake” and “Tribes of Europa.”
By my count, there are 13 post-apocalyptic themed TV shows still producing new episodes across all broadcast, cable and streaming channels.
And new shows in the genre are on the way such as “Tales of the Walking Dead” this summer on AMC. Coming later are “The Last of Us” on HBO, “Fallout” on Amazon Prime and “Isle of the Dead” on AMC.
