The SyFy Channel is producing a new zombie horror series inspired by George A. Romero’s classic 1985 zombie movie Day of the Dead.
They’ve ordered 10 episodes for the first season and is will tell “the intense story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.” The show is described as “an ode to Romero’s famous flesh-eaters that reminds us that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is a horde of hungry zombies trying to rip them apart.”
Day of the Dead is being written and produced by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, who will also serve as showrunners.
While I’m a fan of Romero’s original film, I’m not really sure what to expect from this series reboot. I hope that it ends up being good, though! What do you think about SyFy developing a Day of the Dead series?
