If you love the undead returning to life, only to crave human flesh, and the hordes of other zombie movies and TV shows released in the last decade don’t do it for you, then you may be happy to learn that Syfy is making a new series. It’s based on George Romero’s 1985 movie Day of the Dead–and hopefully, the virus wasn’t created by space spores.
Syfy has ordered a 10-episode series, and the show will take place during the first 24 hours of the zombie apocalypse and revolved around six strangers trying to survive according to The Wrap. The team of Jed Elinoff (The Banana Splits Movie) and Scott Thomas (R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour) will serve as showrunners for the upcoming series.
The original Day of the Dead film takes place in a world where zombies have already taken over. A group of scientists and military officers live in an underground bunker. When the military finds out the scientists have been using undead soldiers for their experiments, the scientists are banished to the caves. Also, zombies are invading the bunker, and one of them knows how to use a gun.
