Joined by misfits, such as 12-year-old Angelica and Josh’s former high school bully, Wesley, now turned pacifist samurai, Josh tries to stay alive amongst the horde of Mad Max-style gangs, zombie-like creatures called Ghoulies, and everything else this crazy new world throws at him.

After leaving us with a bombshell season 1 ending, Daybreak won't live to see another day.
The genre-bending series Daybreak fought off countless ghoulies during its 10-episode first season, but it couldn’t avoid a cold death at the hands of its streamer. Netflix canceled the post-apocalyptic series, which was only released on October 24th.
Series co-creator and executive producer Aron Eli Coleite addressed the cancelation in a statement to fans, who he dubbed “daybreakers,” on Twitter: “No one is as heartbroken as we are that we can’t share more of this ride with you. But we are so grateful to have gotten to bring it so far.” You can read Coleite’s full statement here.

Daybreak showrunner Aron Eli Coleite comes on the Sci Fi Fidelity podcast to explain season 1 twists and make predictions about season 2.
This article and podcast contain spoilers for Daybreak season 1.
Daybreak is one of those shows that makes everyone think that it falls into a specific genre (zombie apocalypse comedy) with a particular audience demographic (Gen-z young adults), but it actually has much broader appeal and may not be about zombies at all. So says showrunner Aron Eli Coleite in our interview with him on the Sci Fi Fidelity podcast recently, in which he talked about how Matthew Broderick joined the cast, why Josh is not necessarily the central character, and why we should be worried about the change of leadership in the season finale.
Daybreak was always designed to showcase multiple perspectives, not just Josh’s, as evidenced by the shifting narrative styles of each episode.

Daybreak showrunner Aron Eli Coleite shares how Matthew Broderick came to the role of Principal Burr and what’s next for the character.
Warning: This interview contains spoilers for season 1 of Daybreak.
Fans of the post apocalyptic teen comedy Daybreak were no doubt initially lured to the show in part by the inclusion of Matthew Broderick in the cast because of the clear nod to his role as the original fourth wall breaking protagonist Ferris Bueller in Ferris Bueller's Day Off with the narrative style of Colin Ford’s Josh Wheeler in this series. But how did the producers and the network convince Broderick to take on this offbeat character in such an unconventional young adult sci-fi offering?
