Netflix Announces Irreverent Apocalypse Dramedy DAYBREAK

Based on the graphic novel by Brian Ralph, the subversive dark comedy Daybreak finds 17 year old high school OUTCAST Josh searching for his missing girlfriend Sam in post-apocalyptic Glendale, California. Joined by a ragtag group of misfits including a pyromaniac 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 (evil jocks, cheerleaders turned Amazon warriors), zombie-like creatures called Ghoulies, and everything else this brave new world throws at him.

Netflix has ordered a 10-episode first season, co-created and directed by Brad Peyton. The series is being executive produced by Aaron Eli Coleite, Brad Peyton, and Jeff Fierson.
