Daybreak is based on Brian Ralph’s comic book series of the same name, set in a Mad Max-esque future version of Glendale, CA.
While Daybreak wasn’t a smash hit (it currently sits at 72 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), it wasn’t universally hated either.
The show also features Krysta Rodriguez (Smash) as biology teacher/witch Ms. Crumble, and Matthew Broderick as Michael Burr, the principal of Glendale High.
The show was praised by Ralph for its expansion of the universe he started with his graphic novels.
