Netflix: 8 series to replace The Last of Us if you don’t have Amazon Prime Video

All of Us Are Dead

In The Last of Us, the slightest bite can be fatal if your name is not Ellie. This immunity, the South Korean students in the series All of Us Are Dead would have dreamed of it! Overnight, the epidemic spreads through the halls of Hyosan Academy and brings down the students one by one, the fault of a professor who, in his corner, carries out bizarre and clandestine experiments on rats and who leaves his rodents within reach of everyone. The concern is that this zombie apocalypse will not be limited to the school district, and will attack the entire city, forcing the state to intervene and declare martial law, a symbol that the city is on the verge of going through a major crisis and that the intervention of the army is the only solution. Short, every student will have to survive against this tide of zombies which will sometimes take away their closest comrades. Finally, these archery lessons will never have been so useful to them! Adapted from the webtoon Now at Our School, the series has been available for almost a year on Netflix and, good news, it will return for a season 2 at an undetermined date.

Ash Vs Evil Dead

Well, we are far from the serious and poignant tone of the series The Last of Usbut the three seasons of Ash vs Evil Dead promise us a good batch of zombies and other bloodthirsty creatures. More than thirty years after the beginning of his adventures, under the leadership of director Sam Raimi, Ash Williams is back in service, still supervised by the filmmaker behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Initially, the demon hunter had planned to savor a well-deserved retirement, but all it took was a dumping, precipitated by a blood alcohol level beyond the legal threshold, for this one to question the fate of the demon. ‘humanity. Reading a few pages of the Necronomicon is not without consequence, Ash learns it at his expense and must gather his arsenal to rectify his mistake.. Creatures on one side, two women pursuing him on the other… Ash Williams has the right, conversely, to a more than sporting retirement, even if he can count on the presence of Pablo and Kelly, two of his colleagues at the hardware store. Here are thirty episodes, crippled with humor, which will allow you to forget that it was Amazon who won the broadcast of the adaptation of the Naughty Dog game.

BlackSummer

Even after all these years, zombies are still popular, and Netflix has understood this well by offering original creations around these monsters.. When released in April 2019, BlackSummer intrigue fans of zombies and post-apocalyptic atmospheres. Speaking of the apocalypse and its consequences, Rose, the heroine of this series played by Jaime King (SinCity, Pearl Arbor), can tell you that these kinds of things can change your life in the blink of an eye: her husband succumbed to the virus which strangely spread across the planet, and her daughter was taken from her without her being able to intervene. However, the threats of this hostile world will not stop him in his quest: in the company of other survivors, also determined to find their loved ones, Rose will comb the whole country, even if it means facing swarms of zombies, in the hope of seeing her daughter’s face again.. Yes, BlackSummer lives up to its name since the tranquility of summer will give way to a darker summer atmosphere, fueled by situations that will result in brutal decisions. Note that the two seasons of this series were not produced by chance since it is, neither more nor less, than a prequel to another show that we mention below, Z Nation.

day break

Like BlackSummerthe hero of day break goes, too, in search of a loved one. Joshmanhandled in his high school by a gang of sportsmen, leads a most mundane life until a terrible explosion rips through part of California, and more particularly the city of Glendale. For Josh and the other teens in the area, there are upsides and downsides: there are no more parents to come and annoy them — but they have been transformed into a kind of brainless zombies —, and now they can do whatever they want. Thus, the city is fragmented into several very stereotyped gangs (athletes, intellectuals, cheerleaders, etc.). If Josh now has everything to be happy and become cool as he dreamed, he is missing something, or rather someone: In the aftermath of the explosion that made the Hollywood surroundings completely unrecognizable, his girlfriend Sam Dean disappeared. Determined to find her, Josh can count on two unlikely allies: Angelica, a young girl who has an immoderate love for fire, and Wesley, one of the former athletes who harassed Josh and who discovered a certain pacifism after the huge explosion. During their quest to find Sam, the three teenagers will have to both brave the zombies that prowl and encroach on the territories claimed by the various gangs.. Unfortunately, there will only be one season to get your teeth into.

Kingdom

Zombies are not the prerogative of the streets of Boston, Pittsburgh and, more broadly, of the United States that Ellie and Joel cross during their journey. If you both want to travel (physically and temporally) and enjoy a zombie story, the series Kingdom could well become your program of the moment. Like The Last of Us, a strange virus seems to be circulating, while the situation is becoming increasingly worrying. Immersed in the middle of the Joseon period, a medieval era, on royal Korean lands already plagued by corruption and famine, Kingdom Turn the tension up a notch by waking up the dead to turn them into zombies ready to do anything for a bit of flesh and blood. Through two small seasons of six episodes, the original Netflix series takes us, alongside Chang, the crown prince, and his right-hand man, Moo-Young, to discover how this strange evil capable of creating monsters was born. and who recently took away the king. The mix between period story and zombie apocalypse works quite well, in particular because of the sumptuous decorations and an atmosphere like no other which offers great moments of tension. Here, the confrontations are not settled with firearms but rather with saber and bow, and the show is all the crazier!

The Rain

In Naughty Dog’s masterpiece, the developers took the concept of cordyceps — a fungus that attacks specific species like insects and spiders — to apply it to humans. In the series The Rain from Netflix, there is indeed a deadly virus spreading through the air, but it is mainly carried by the rain. It is so dangerous that almost all of Scandinavia has succumbed to its effects. Thanks to their father, Simone and Rasmus have time to reach a bunker in the forest. However, he quickly abandons them after bringing them to safety and, five years later, he still has not joined them.. For Rasmus, it’s too much and he supports this captivity less and less: with his sister, they decide to set foot outside but, barely out, they come across a group of survivors who are about their age. Together, they will go on an expedition, in search of food, while observing the last vestiges of their ancient civilization and trying to escape those who are contaminated.. Contrary to day break which was canceled at the end of its season 1, The Rainshe is lucky to have been able to unfold her entire story over twenty episodes.

The Walking Dead

In such a selection of series with a post-apocalyptic atmosphere and a cast filled with zombies, how not to mention the iconic program of the American channel AMC? Everyone remembers this sequence where the former sheriff Rick Grimes rides his faithful steed in the direction of the city while the parallel motorway axis is blocked by thousands of cars which piled up at the height of the crisis. For those who didn’t jump on the phenomenon when it was released in October 2010, we follow the journey of Rick Grimes who, after a month-long coma, wakes up having the feeling of being alone in the world. Luckily, he finds his family and joins a group of individuals who will be shaken more than once over the various intrigues that will be woven. To escape the threat of zombies and certain death, the survivors crossed over the eleven seasons of The Walking Dead will seek to establish, and at all costs, a community worthy of the name, able to restore humanity in the face of the zombie threat. We regret the decline in quality of the show from the seventh season, but the series is still full of significant moments. Note, by the way, that not all episodes are available yet: two-thirds of season 11, i.e. sixteen episodes, are still missing, but Netflix is ​​on the job!

Z Nation

After tackling the prequel series, a few paragraphs above, it’s time to talk about Z Nation ! Contrary to BlackSummer, we do not follow the adventures of Rose, ready to move heaven and earth to find her daughter, but we focus on another group of individuals. Between the events of the prequel and those of this series, a little time has passed: three years to be exact! This interval notably allowed the most brilliant scientists to develop a vaccine prototype. Quickly, the decision is made to inoculate it to former prisoners, against their will, in the hope that one of them will survive and be used for further research.. Among the candidates, Murphy resists the injection and thus becomes patient 0, possessing an organism powerful enough to counter the virus and no longer fearing any zombie bites. The objective, with this first immune human, is to lead him to a Californian laboratory which is able to replicate the antidote using his blood. : it is therefore no longer just a question of surviving for oneself, but of surviving and, above all, protecting Murphy for the good of humanity. However, Murphy seems to have hidden a very heavy secret from them, which is none other than one of the big twists that this series promises, spanning no less than five seasons and sixty-nine episodes.
