The Last Generation

Mankind is facing a bleak future in the 13-episode third season of apocalyptic sci-fiZoo (2015-2017). The world’s animals have been cured of the virus that turned them overly aggressive and made them attack and kill people, but the cure has had an unexpected side-effect – it sterilized humanity. “There is a 10-year time-hop with season 3 and viewers find humanity facing their biggest challenge yet: to repopulate the world,” reveals series creator Josh Appelbaum. But that’s not the only conundrum. Josh adds that mankind must also figure out how to “control a string of genetically engineered animal hybrids that are destroying the world”.

Now in 2027, the original team that helped find a cure has moved on. Safari guide Abraham (Nonso Anozie, General Horemheb in 2015 miniseries Tut) is now a doctor helping Clementine (Gracie Dzienny, Tina in the movie Bumblebee, 2018) find her veterinarian pathologist father Mitch (Billy Burke, Charlie Swan in the Twilight film franchise, 2008-2012). Mitch is being held in suspended animation in a mysterious facility. Journalist
