Fans of The Walking Dead and All of Us Are Dead should keep reading as we've got your next zombie TV series fix sorted.
There have been so many zombie-related TV series and movies over the years that there comes a point when you've probably seen them all. With this in mind, people have been taking to Reddit to get people's recommendations for new things to watch.
Having watched All of Us Are Dead, one Redditor called for other zombie series that were just as good - and they quickly got an answer.

"I got hooked on Black Summer. Got my fingers crossed for another season," someone replied.
A second penned: "Black Summer is amazing!"
"Have yet to find any zombie depiction come close to Black Summer," gushed different person. "It's just too good."
"Black Summer is fantastic! The episodes are very intense," another Netflix-user wrote.
Meanwhile someone else went as far as labeling the show as 'the best zombie show ever made'.
If these rave reviews weren't enough to tempt you to watch it, the series boasts an impressive 87 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
The synopsis for the series reads: "Set in the Z Nation universe, this series follows a crack team of special forces as it fights for hope in the darkest hours of the zombie apocalypse."
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.
John Hyams, the co-creator of the show alongside Karl Schaefer, confirmed last year that Black Summer had been canceled.
A fan of the show tweeted him: "Season 3 of Black Summer or nah?"
"Sadly, nah," Hyams replied.
He further explained to a different Black Summer viewer that it 'certainly wasn’t [his] decision' to axe it and that he would have 'loved to do another'.
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.
