The increase in streaming fees has made a previously budget-friendly cable alternative less attractive. Fortunately, the cord cutting period has resulted in several free streaming options, allowing you to watch certain popular shows without spending a dime. One such show, a well-loved 2010s zombie TV series that ran for five seasons, is among those available for free. This series, which was highly acclaimed by fans during its run and remains one of the best zombie shows to date, can now be watched at no cost.
As a die-hard fan of post-apocalyptic series, I’m thrilled to share some good news! If you’re like me and want to revisit the action-packed world of Z Nation without breaking the bank, head over to YouTube! That’s right, all five seasons of this Syfy gem are available there for your viewing pleasure. Created by Karl Schaefer and Craig Engler, Z Nation aired from 2014 until 2018, during which time other popular zombie shows like AMC’s The Walking Dead, The CW’s iZombie, and Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet also graced our screens. Unlike those other series that demand a subscription to stream, Z Nation Seasons 1 through 5 can be enjoyed on YouTube, completely free – though with some ads to keep things running smoothly. Enjoy the zombie-filled ride!
In the world of the television series, three years have passed since a deadly virus turned much of America into a land of the undead. The few remaining humans cling to hope, and that hope resides in a man named Murphy, who is unique because he’s the only one known to have survived the infection. Murphy also holds the key to finding a cure. The story unfolds as a band of survivors journey from New York to a viral lab in California, with Murphy at their center (played by Keith Allan).
Besides Allan, the series also features Kellita Smith, DJ Qualls, Russell Hodgkinson, Nat Zang, Anastasia Baranova, Michael Welch, Sydney Viengluang, Ramona Young, and Natalie Jongjaroenlarp, along with several other talented actors.
Z Nation, in contrast to other shows in the zombie apocalypse genre, stands out due to its light-hearted tone. The show successfully blended the grim atmosphere of an apocalypse with humor through its characters, outrageous plotlines, and excessive gore, attracting a dedicated fan base. However, the series didn’t garner much acclaim from critics during its initial run, earning just 45% on Rotten Tomatoes. In contrast, it was favorably received by audiences, boasting an 72% rating. Overall, Z Nation has a 67% approval rating among viewers.
You can stream all five seasons of the show “Z Nation” for free on YouTube, complete with advertisements. Additionally, you can watch it on Peacock if you have a subscription, or enjoy it for free on ad-supported platforms like Pluto TV and Tubi.
