Filming on the Netflix series 'Black Summer' has wrapped up after a couple of weeks in High River.

The show which stars Jamie King is in production on their second season after their initial eight episode season last year on the streaming service.

It follows the story of "Rose," played by King, searching for her daughter in the early days of the zombie apocalypse.

Most of the first season was shot in Irricana, Beiseker, Cochrane and Calgary.

Locals got a chance to watch some action and stunts over the filming in High River, with a highlight being a mid-week chase sequence being shot on 1st Street S.W. earlier this week that had locals watching in awe.

The series also stars Canadian actress Gwynyth Walsh, who's known to Star Trek fans as B'Etor on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Season two will air in 2021.
