Z: The Beginning of Everything is an American period drama television series[1] created by Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin for Amazon Studios that debuted on November 5, 2015. It is based on Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler. The series presents a fictionalized version of the life of American socialite and writer Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (Christina Ricci) in the 1920s. The first season covers her marriage to the author F. Scott Fitzgerald – who had yet to become famous for his work – and the subsequent marital tensions that arose from their lifestyle full of partying and alcohol.

The first season was released on January 27, 2017.[2] On April 27, 2017 it was revealed that Amazon had ordered a second season.[3] It was then announced on September 7, 2017, that Amazon had rescinded the renewal, cancelling the show after one season.[4]
