Syfy Has Officially Pulled the Plug on “Z Nation” After Five Seasons
One week before the Season 5 finale of “Z Nation,“ we learned tonight, Syfy has cancelled the zombie series. In other words, the Season 5 finale will be the *series* finale.
Asylum CEO/series executive producer David Michael Latt announced in a video tonight, “We were not renewed for a Season 6. We’re stopping at Season 5. We’re very sad. We’re also really grateful [for] the opportunities that we had. This is not the end of anything. This is just the beginning of a lot of things. We had a great time. We had a great time with Syfy.”
The final episode, “The End of Everything,” airs Friday night, December 28th.
Starting in Spring 2019, it’s worth noting here, new Netflix series “Black Summer” hails from “Z Nation” co-creator/executive producer Karl Schaefer and the Syfy zombie apocalypse drama’s co-executive producer, John Hyams. Jaime King will star in the series as a mother, torn from her daughter, who embarks upon a harrowing journey, stopping at nothing 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 summer of a zombie apocalypse.

Despite her character, Mia, dying in season one of “Dexter: Resurrection“, Deadline reports that Krysten Ritter will return for season two.
No word at this time on who Ritter will play in the upcoming season, including whether or not this means the series may resurrect her serial killer character also known as Lady Vengeance.
It is a series that has brought characters back from the dead before, after all. And that’s if Mia died at all; even Ritter has teased not to count her character out yet.
Ritter joins the previously announced Uma Thurman, who reprises her character Charley in season two.
The new season finds Dexter Morgan caught between two killers — one notorious and the other terrorizing New York in ways no one ever anticipated — all while battling his greatest enemy yet: a mid-life crisis. Harrison continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter.
Michael C. Hall will be back as Dexter Morgan in the upcoming “Dexter: Resurrection” Season 2, starring alongside Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Sarif, Dominic Fumusa, Desmond Harrington, and James Remar.
They’ll be joined by series newcomers Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer, Bokeem Woodbine as NYPD Homicide Captain Mixon, Nona Parker Johnson as Harrison Morgan’s new love interest Fiona Mixon, and Brian Cox as The New York Ripper.
You can stream the first season on Paramount+ now. Daniel Kurland wrote here on Bloody Disgusting last year, “Somehow, against all odds, Dexter: Resurrection is good. Really good.” He continued, “With any luck, Dexter: Resurrection’s second season will maintain this momentum and consistency, rather than going off the rails like in the past.”
