Day Of The Dead TV Series 2021
According to the showrunners, this new TV series is described as a ode to George A. Romero’s “Day of the Dead”. Yes, you read that correctly, this show is somehow linked to that classic movie, but how and why is anybody's guess.
"Day Of The Dead" is yet another brainless zombie TV series from the SYFY Channel which is slowly lumbering towards us in October 2021. This new 10 part series follows in the well worn footsteps of The Walking Dead, Z Nation and Black Summer, and according to the showrunners, is described as a ode to George A. Romero’s “Day of the Dead”. Yes, you read that correctly, this show is somehow linked to that classic movie, but how and why is anybody's guess.
But before you get too excited, this low budget gore fest with its hapless victims looks like it will get pretty old, pretty fast, without Romero's trade mark social commentary. Instead you might be better off rewatching The Walking Dead, or better yet, watch Kingdom.
Check out the trailer and make up your own mind, if you're curious.
