Day Zero 2011

Overview

Day Zero is a post-apocalyptic television series that premiered in 2011. The show is set in the 22nd century, where advancements in science and technology had progressed beyond ethical boundaries, leading much of humanity to reverse course. However, global dictatorships eventually violated the United Nations Bioethics Treaty by secretly stockpiling weapons. This breach led to an attack on an oblivious America, which retaliated with augmented nuclear weaponry. The consequences of this retaliation were unforeseen, affecting most survivors in the Western Hemisphere and transforming many into ravenous beasts. Despite the devastation, pockets of humanity persist. The series was created and developed by filmmaker and actor Cal Nguyen, who also stars in the show alongside Deven Skye, Kenneth Applegate, and Kabrina Miller.
