Society doesn't entirely collapse. I think one of the most done-to-death tropes of apocalyptic fiction is that society is so screwed that there is nothing left but roving bands of Dangerous People Who Hurt Things.
I personally would like to see real progress being made in setting up a functioning society. Not everywhere has to be run by a madman, and not every working settlement has to be on the verge of collapse when the Dangerous People attack. Many pieces of fiction have this magical land that once you get there everything is OK (see Will Smith's parody of I am Legend for an example), but then the story ends. I want to know what happens inside, and how they face and get over their challenges.
You can still have those dangerous people, but it would definitely be unique to see a re-imagined restart of society that, despite challenges, is actually working.
