10k's Z Nation zombie slaying days might be at an end.

'Z Nation' Season 3: Murphy Has A Master Plan, Will He Really Save Humanity?

The taciturn zombie hunter is out to kill ten thousand zombie, hence his nickname, but the events of the season 2 finale could make him fall short of his goal.

Don't worry - he's not dead. In Z Nation, however, there are fates far worse than death.

Between season 1's nuclear launch and this year's CDC/Chinese soldier reveal, it's safe to say you should expect the unexpected.
