In a blended family, you're also dealing with people who have been in marriages and have lost loved ones have been in marriages and gone through divorce and they're going through their own identity shifts when we first meet them within the family drama world of things. They also end up going back to the quotidian of it. With the onset of the apocalypse, they're going to have choices to make as to whether they can tap into the darker sides of themselves things that they tried to distance themselves from in order to survive. The irony for us is that the only thing that helps accomplish that is that the world ends.” “Many of our characters, as we will come to discover, have gone through some very unsavory things - histories that they try to bury.

You're talking about two people who, as the story opens, all they want is to bring their family together under one roof and make everyone whole. Travis has a very pissed-off teenager and an ex-wife. She has two children, one of whom has some issues. “Travis (Curtis) just moved in with his girlfriend Madison (Dickens) after they got married. The main narrative drive is the conflicts within this family dynamic and how those things are exacerbated by the arrival of the apocalypse.” “We have this highly dysfunctional, blended family and all the issues that they face and they would have faced if the apocalypse hadn't struck, those are the problems we're exploring.
