David Michael Latt, an executive producer of Z Nation has revealed that the show has not been renewed for a 6th season by Syfy and will end on Season 5 (which possibly explains why Syfy stopped releasing photos but that's just me assuming) per his periscope video tweet (please watch it if you are interested in hearing what they have to say, it is embedded below).
The End of Everything will now serve as the series finale.
Craig Engler, the co-creator of Z Nation shared that fans have Black Summer, the series ordered by Netflix, starring Hart of Dixie's Jaime King to look forward to as it is a prequel to Z Nation, so for the fans wanting more zombie drama, this could be another option.
We are pursuing other options. #znation https://t.co/DbyZjekrON

RIP #znation. As they say, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." Thanks to all the fans for five years of love and support. You're the best. Thanks @Syfy for a great run.

It was such an honor to spend three years in the #ZNation writers room. I enjoyed every single moment in the room, on the page and with the fans. Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of this amazing show!!
