Why Was It Cancelled? This zombie series has never received much promotion from Netflix, but it did manage to find a small audience.  It also quietly received a second season renewal, and that debuted with little fanfare in Summer 2021.  But with no word on the show for over a year, I am going to assume it is cancelled.  Perhaps it could shift to another venue when the Netflix streaming rights expire, but that would likely require a Call to Action from the fans.
