As of January 25, 2019, season 4 of the US-American post-apocalyptic zombie drama series Z Nation by director Karl Schaefer, produced by The Asylum (known inter alia from the Sharknado films) will be available on the M-Square Pictures label. Also, the release dates of Season 5 are already fixed: This will be available from March 2020.
The Z Nation series begins at a time when a zombie virus has almost completely eradicated humanity. The last hope for a positive change rests on Murphy – the only known survivor of a zombie attack. But the potential savior Murphy carries not only the coveted antibodies in itself, but also a dangerous secret – and a lot of bad mood.
At the beginning of Season 4, Warren (Kellita Smith) and Murphy (Keith Allan) suddenly find themselves back in “Zona,” an apparently safe haven for super-rich on an island, two years into the future. While the rest of the group must assert themselves against the undead and the Zona military, Warren tries to find a conspiracy on the track. Disturbing dream images of black, rain guide them on a new mission. On their escape, the survivors not only have to solve the grim mystery of Zona, but also fight super zombies, which make their previous experiences like a relaxing walk. The fourth season of the cult zombie series hit brings some new variants of the undead plague, such as zombie clowns, super zombies and crazy zombies, the Mad-Zs.
In Season 4 there are also two spectacular guest appearances with horror icon Michael Berryman (“The Hills Have Eyes”) and cult musician Henry Rollins (“Heat”, “Bad Boys II”).
