I’m really guessing not, because they’ve been pretty insistent that this isn’t going to be funny:
At the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con, Schaefer noted that “Black Summer is before the apocalypse got weird and was just scary.” He said that the drama series is not intended to be the funny version of The Walking Dead that Z Nation is, but would instead be more of an “old-school” take on zombie lore. This was echoed by producer Jodi Binstock, who stated that the series is “not tongue-in-cheek, it’s very very serious: it’s as if the zombie apocalypse really happened in 2018 and explores what that would be for all of us.”
