Netflix Debuts Season Two of The Last Kids on Earth

Season two of the animated series The Last Kids on Earth, produced by Thunderbird Entertainment Group’s Atomic Cartoons, has bowed on Netflix.

Based on the best-selling book series of the same name by Max Brallier, The Last Kids on Earth is set in the aftermath of a monster apocalypse. It follows 13-year-old Jack Sullivan and a band of suburban middle schoolers who live in a treehouse, play video games, gorge themselves on candy and battle zombies. The season’s ten brand-new episodes are streaming on Netflix in 28 languages in 190 countries.

Brallier is attached to the series as creator, and Scott Peterson is the showrunner. The voice cast includes Nick Wolfhard (Jack Sullivan), Mark Hamill, Rosario Dawson, Catherine O’Hara, Keith David, Bruce Campbell, Garland Whitt, Montse Hernandez and Charles Demers.

Season two of The Last Kids on Earth follows a global toy and merchandise line, which was developed with JAKKS Pacific and Cyber Group Studios and that launched online and at select retailers earlier this year. Retail chain Hot Topic also recently debuted apparel through a “print-on-demand” t-shirt line. Further, Thunderbird is in production with Outright Games on a video game based on the IP that is scheduled to debut in 2021. The latest installment in the book series, June’s Wild Flight, was released earlier this month.

Brian Paes-Braga, chairman of Thunderbird Entertainment Group, said: “The Last Kids on Earth series exemplifies the high-quality, internationally recognized content that Thunderbird Entertainment is creating at a time when the demand for premium content continues to grow. This series represents years in the making and Jennifer Twiner McCarron, Matthew Berkowitz and the entire team have done a tremendous job on it. Our IP for The Last Kids on Earth has inspired a host of exciting extensions, including a toy line, t-shirt line and video game—all of which illustrate the blue-sky opportunity before us. We are excited to see how fans react to season two. We hope they love it as much as we do.”

Berkowitz added: “While we have fun with monsters and zombies in the show, The Last Kids on Earth is ultimately a story about friendship and hope amongst a group of middle schoolers facing unbelievable odds. We are thankful it has resonated with so many fans around the world. We’re also fortunate to work with such an incredibly talented creative team on Last Kids, and grateful to have such fantastic partners on this series.”
