Forces of Nature

The world has changed in the third season of Zoo and so have the people in it.

Humans and the animal kingdom should be co-existing in perfect harmony. Zoo’s season two finale culminated with zoologist Jackson Oz (James Wolk) and company dispersing a cure for the animal mutations plaguing the world. When season three premieres, however, a ten-year time jump finds the planet drastically altered – and not for the better.

“Because of the gas that has been dropped, mankind has been sterilised,” says executive producer Josh Appelbaum. “Mankind is not procreating, which is obviously a huge problem that scientists and researchers are working on. In addition, these razorback hybrid creatures have spread up through South America into the US and Canada. The west coast of the United States has fallen. South and North America have erected this barrier to keep the hybrids from moving too far west.”
