Amazon to Attack with Zombieland TV Series
"Zombieland is a fan favorite and we can’t wait to see where this story line goes in a serialized format," said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios. "We’ve been announcing a lot of exciting exclusive content for Prime Instant Video, like Downton Abbey, Under the Dome, and Justified, and we think adding original shows to that lineup is going to make Prime even more enticing for customers."
The TV series will follow four survivors as they outwit zombies and search for a new home. If you liked the movie, you'll be thrilled to know that the pilot comes from the same creative team, including writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Joe Schmo Show) and producer Gaven Polone (Gilmore Girls, Curb Your Enthusiasm). Eli Craig, who's resume includes Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, is also joining the team as director.
"Zombieland will strive to break the rules—action, adventure, thrills, chills and laughs and all packed into a half hour format," said creator Paul Wernick. "This is not your average show but Amazon is not your average network."
