The 100
This TV series is about the humans living on a spaceship after the life on Earth ends following a nuclear war. After 97 years, 100 young people (The 100) sentenced to prison for various crimes are send down to Earth to figure out whether the Earth’s atmosphere is suitable for living. This 7-season TV show is among the best post-apocalyptic series.
The Walking Dead
We can’t miss a zombie invasion when we talk about post-apocalyptic TV series. Undoubtedly, The Walking Dead is the most popular zombie TV series. Our lead character sheriff Rick Grimes’ efforts to find his wife and son Carl after waking up from a coma and the zombies in the following episodes are all about danger.
Revolution
We are living in a technology era and we are surrounded by electronic devices. What is the electricity that suppliers all these devices are gone? This TV series has a unique plot to tell how people will try to adapt living without electricity. Revolution is an interesting idea and TV series.

The Rain

They try to find their father with a group of young people they encounter going from Denmark to Sweden who try to find the treatment.
Under the Dome
Imagine living in a town. One day you wake up and the entire town is inside an unbreakable dome. None can get in and you cannot get out. This TV series adapted from Stephen King’s novel is about people living in a town trying to survive with increasing tension while the government and soldiers look for a way to lift the transparent barrier.
Westworld
And artificial intelligence finally ends humanity. Today, it is a fact that robots are serving us. What if there is a software error and robots that serve and do all the dirty jobs gain consciousness? You can find the answer in Westworld.
3%
3% TV series is something good. The world is divided into two: an elite segment living in a modern richness and the rest who try to survive in misery and poverty. What will happen if you were given the chance to get away from misery and pass to the better side of the world. And what would you do for this to happen? This is a Portuguese TV series with the Hunger Games vibes.
The Last Man on Earth
Probably all of you have ever thought. What if everyone disappeared suddenly and you are left all alone, what would you do? You can find the answer in The Last Man on Earth TV series. On contrary to other TV series, this is a post-apocalyptic TV series without suspense. The last man on earth does what he wants to do after an unknown apocalypse. If you are looking for a comedy post-apocalyptic TV series, you are at the right spot.
Jericho
The entire communication in the US is gone after a nuclear attack and people in a town called Jericho try to survive and learn what is happening around the country. There is chaos since the communication and energy lines are gone and people are living in fear and anxiety.
Into the Night
What if the sun rays killed all humans? We would try to stay away from the Sun just like a pilot, passengers and group of Italian soldiers who notice this beforehand. Into the Night is best for TV series binging and you won’t even know when the series ends.
To the Lake
Another escape story. Two families who know each other before the pandemic start their way to a protective house in the middle of the lake to isolate themselves from the virus by forming an involuntary group. This Russian zombie TV show To the Lake which is a realistic post-apocalyptic series has elements of human psychology and communication dynamics and the first season is released on Netflix.
Snowpiercer
The Earth is frozen and turned into an ice dessert. A group of people survived this disaster and they are on a giant train called Snowpiercer. This TV show is about survival policies, class distinction and social injustice which will hook you up to the screen.
Black Summer
Black Summer is another zombie TV series. This relatively newer (2019) Netflix production is about events that happen right after a virus pandemic. The TV series has high tempo and suspense . But there are lots of “please get it he is no longer a human and start running” scenes but we still recommend this production.
Falling Skies
Produced by Steven Spielberg who directed some of the successful movies like Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, this TV series is about the story of a group of people who try to run away from alien invasion in Boston. We recommend Falling Skies to everyone who wants to watch an alien invasion.
Containment
Containment is about a pandemic in Atlanta. We see a survival story inside the state since the entire city is under quarantine. Containment is about showing how the communication between the families and people who love each other is impacted during the quarantine period.
