Connection to Z Nation
The connection between Black Summer and its parent series takes a similar approach as the original relationship between Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead, as there are no plans for any of the characters from Z Nation to appear in the companion prequel series.[3] Z Nation actor DJ Qualls revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that the Syfy series takes place "quite a long time" after the events of Black Summer, making him feel that the cast is "too old" for a crossover to work.[5] The series do share "most to all of [their] writing, directing, and producing staff" as well as a production company, The Asylum.[6][3] The show's starring actress, Jaime King, has said that the two series have "nothing to do with" each other.[7]
