Watch Next

After a nuclear blast, all the adults in Glendale, California turn into ferocious zombies. Cue a takeover from the towns valiant teenagers, who seem to have gotten a hearty dose of morning motivation from their school's principal, played by Matthew Broderick.

Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Brian Ralph, Daybreak stars Colin Ford as protagonist Josh Wheeler as he searches for his missing girlfriend amidst the post-apocalyptic rubble. Ford is joined by his former bully-turned-ally, Wesley (Austin Crute), and Angelica (Alyvia Alyn Lind), the squad's resident tween zombie fighter and pyromaniac.

Daybreak will be available for streaming exclusively on Netflix on Oct. 24.
