Syfy has renewed the scripted zombie drama series Z Nation for a third season, with The Asylum producing a 15-hour season to premiere in 2016.


Z Nation takes place three years after a zombie virus has gutted the country. A team of everyday heroes is tasked with transporting the only known survivor of the plague across the country to the last functioning viral lab in post-apocalyptic America, in hopes of using his blood to create a cure for the virus.

Currently in the midst of season two, Z Nation is averaging 1.5 million total viewers per episode (Live +7) for Syfy.

Zombies are known tweet-getters, and to date, Z-nation ranks as the network's most social original series with regard to total social engagements.
