Set 10 years after the zombie outbreak, the show will focus on two young female characters played by Alexa Mansour (The Resident) and Aliyah Royale (The Red Line). They’re part of the “first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse”, according to the show’s synopsis.

“Some will become heroes. Some will become villains,” it continues. “In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.”

*UPDATE*

During New York Comic-Con 2019, Amazon unveiled (alongside a brand new trailer) that the series would be available to its UK subscribers in Spring 2020.
