Netflix has released the first trailer for its new original series Daybreak, starring Matthew Broderick and Krysta Rodriguez!

In this post-apocalyptic, genre-bending series, the city of Glendale, California is populated by marauding gangs of jocks, gamers, the 4-H Club, and other fearsome tribes who are kicking ass as they FIGHT TO SURVIVE in the wake of a nuclear blast (on the night of Homecoming...ugh).

Following an eclectic group of survivors as they navigate this strange and treacherous world, Daybreak is part samurai saga, part endearing coming-of-age story, and part Battle Royale.

Watch the trailer below!

The series stars Matthew Broderick as Glendale High School's Principal Michael Burr; Krysta Rodriguez as the biology teacher; Colin Ford as our hero and every-teen, 17-year-old Josh Wheeler; Sophie Simnett as Sam Dean, the most widely admired girl at Glendale High; Austin Crute as contemplative samurai Wesley Fists; Alyvia Alyn Lind as highly unstable kid genius Angelica Green; Cody Kearsley as Turbo Bro Jock, the bloodthirsty leader of the jocks; Jeanté Godlock as Mona Lisa, his badass right-hand woman; and Gregory Kasyan as Eli Cardashyan (not that Kardashian).

Executive producers are Aron Eli Coleite, Brad Peyton, and Jeff Fierson.

Daybreak debuts on Netflix on October 24.
