What is Daybreak about?
The series follows a group of survivors at a high school after a nuclear blast eradicates half of the population and leaves some zombie-like figures roaming the town.
Executive Producer Aron Eli Coleite says that the series blends multiple genres. "It’s a coming-of age story. It’s sci-fi apocalypse. It’s comedy. It’s drama. It’s a samurai saga. It’s an epic romance," he says.
He adds: "Unlike the typical dystopian futures that we’ve seen in movies and television, this is actually the best thing that ever happened to these teenagers. All the adults are gone — or they’ve turned into monsters. This is an opportunity for the kids to make their own world."
