There are currently two seasons of Black Summer to stream on Netflix but, despite people's calls for another, there won't be a third.

A fan of the show tweeted him: "Season 3 of Black Summer or nah?"

Some labeled it a 'tragedy' that its come to an abrupt end.
They wrote: "This is a tragedy! Black Summer was the best of them all (yes including Last of Us and the Walking Dead), I can't believe Netflix don't have more faith in the show."
"That's really disappointing," said another heartbroken viewer. "I was so sucked into Black Summer. Don't understand why great shows get canceled and sh*tty ones have 5 seasons."
While there isn't going to be another season, all 16 episodes of Black Summer are still available to stream on Netflix.
