Netflix's high school apocalypse dramedy series DAYBREAK with Matthew Broderick will not be getting a second season. Series co-creator/executive producer Aron Eli Coleite broke the news over on Twitter writing:
We learned last week that Daybreak will not be returning for a second season. We’re so sorry we couldn’t share it with you sooner but also grateful that we got to hang out in these last few live-tweet sessions with all of you. Thank you for picking up what we put down, for running with it in all of your amazing, weird, monstrous ways and for being such an important part of this show and our experience making it … No one is as heartbroken as we are that we can’t share more of this ride with you. “But we’re so grateful to have gotten to bring it this far.

Based on a graphic novel by Brian Ralph, the series centered on
17-year-old high school outcast Josh who is searching for his missing girlfriend Sam in post-apocalyptic Glendale, CA. 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.
Created by Brad Peyton & Aron Eli Coleite DAYBREAK starred Colin Ford as Josh Wheeler, Alyvia Alyn Lind as Angelica Green, Sophie Simnett as Samaira "Sam" Dean, Austin Crute as Wesley Fists, Cody Kearsley as Turbo "Bro Jock" Pokask, Jeanté Godlock as Mona Lisa, Gregory Kasyan as Eli Cardashyan, Krysta Rodriguez as Ms. Crumble / The Witch, and Matthew Broderick as Michael Burr / Baron Triumph.
The first season is available to stream over on Netflix RIGHT HERE.
