In the first season of “Zoo,” the world is thrown into chaos as animals across the globe begin to exhibit violent and coordinated behavior towards humans. Jackson Oz, a zoologist played by James Wolk, teams up with a diverse group of individuals, including a journalist named Jamie Campbell (Kristen Connolly), a veterinarian named Mitch Morgan (Billy Burke), and a French intelligence agent named Chloe Tousignant (Nora Arnezeder).
The team discovers that the animal attacks are part of a larger, global conspiracy involving a shadowy organization known as Reiden Global. This powerful corporation is experimenting with a new form of genetic engineering, which has inadvertently triggered the animals’ aggressive behavior. The group races against time to uncover the truth behind the attacks, all while trying to prevent the world from descending into further chaos.
Throughout the season, the team encounters various challenges, including dangerous encounters with the mutated animals, internal conflicts, and the realization that they are up against powerful and influential forces. As they dig deeper into the mystery, they also learn about a potential connection between the animal attacks and a long-lost manuscript that could hold the key to understanding and stopping the global crisis.
The first season of “Zoo” is characterized by its suspenseful and action-packed narrative, exploring themes of environmentalism, genetic manipulation, and the consequences of humanity’s impact on the natural world. The season concludes with significant revelations that set the stage for further exploration of the conspiracy and its implications in subsequent seasons.
