Matthew Broderick Joins Netflix's Adaptation of the Zombie Graphic Novel DAYBREAK
Netflix is adapting the graphic novel Daybreak by Brian Ralph into a dramedy series. Matthew Broderick is joining the cast of the adaptation as Principal Burr. Daybreak will be a 10-episode series and here’s the synopsis:
“The 10-episode series, based on the graphic novel of the same name by Brian Ralph, revolves around 17-year-old high school outcast Josh as he searches for his missing girlfriend Sam in postapocalyptic Glendale, California. 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 among 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.”
Aron Eli Coleite and Brad Peyton co-created the series and will executive produce it. Coleite will also serve as showrunner. Who should play Josh, Sam, Angelica, and Wesley?
