It is unclear how much time has passed since The Tribe ended or what connections exist between the two shows.

Following the outbreak of a virus, the entire adult population has been wiped out leaving their children to survive alone.

Throughout series 1–3 of "The Tribe" Bray is one of the focus characters fighting to build a new world and restore order to the city.

He is taken by the Technos at the beginning of Series 4, when his girlfriend Amber gives birth to his son.

They believe that all the problems faced in the past: the technology, the machines, the darkness and the Great Wandering; were all brought about by Zoot.

In the Ants story, Zoot was represented as an exaggerated form of how he looked in The Tribe.

The Ants are a tribe of farmers which appears to consist of the more timid survivors who were in need of someone to lead them and give them a purpose.

This role has been left to High Priestess Faygar, who leads the group and has given them a belief system worshipping their ancestors.

The Barbs are a naturalistic tribe who live in the forest and are protective of their lands and take only what they need to survive in order to conserve the environment.

The group are easily identifiable by the markings on their heads, which consist of a five-pointed fan in the centre of their forehead and a coloured mask of sorts around their eyes.

The Privileged feel they are superior to other tribes and aim for perfection in both their looks and their actions.

The Privs do not have a distinct marking of sorts, rather their clothes are a lot grander than those of The Ants and the Barbs.

Some did work behind the scenes on the series, namely Caleb Ross (The Tribe's Lex) working on the sound foley and Vanessa Stacey (The Tribe's Alice) who was the vocal coach to the young actors of The New Tomorrow.

An outsider named Sky finds his way into the Barb tribe; he doesn't know where he came from, and his memory is messed up.

When she is going back to Privs (the Ants and Barbs don't know she's a spy yet) she asks Dan to come with her.

Faygar and Sky escape from the Discards: so does Shadow, and we don't see him again for the rest of the series (fans think he met with the 'Bird' tribe, see below).

Sky and Dan, out on a patrol, find a strange young boy, but it seems he can't speak.

Harmony also realises that friends are more important than power, and hands the throne back to Flame, who has also changed, and decides to free the Discards.

The Birds leave, and the cast members of the Ant and Barb tribes stand around in a circle and Faygar says, "I'm sure we'll have many more adventures to come."
