Syfy UK Picks Up ‘Day of the Dead’ Series
Sky has picked up the rights to the new ‘Day Of The Dead‘ tv series, due to premiere tonight in the USA, with a view to airing it on Syfy UK (date yet to be confirmed).
From Abbott Street Films and Cartel Entertainment (‘Creepshow’), ‘Day of the Dead’ is the intense story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion. This ode to George A. Romero’s famous flesh-eaters reminds us that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is a horde of hungry zombies trying to rip them apart.
The series stars Daniel Doheny (‘Alex Strangelove’, ‘Brand New Cherry Flavor’) as Luke Bowman, Keenan Tracey (‘Debris’, ‘iZombie’, ‘Bates Motel’) as Cam McDermott, Kristy Dinsmore (‘Vikings’) as Amy, Morgan Holmstrom (‘I Still See You’) as Sarah Blackwood and Natalie Malaika (‘The Sinners’) as Lauren Howell.
This love letter to George A. Romero is written by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas (‘The Banana Splits Movie’, ‘Malibu Rescue’), who also serve as showrunners. Steven Kostanski (‘Leprechaun Returns’, ‘The Void’) directed the first four episodes and exec produces. Robert Dudelson, James Dudelson and Jordan Kizwani (HiTide Studios), Stan Spry, Jeff Holland and Drew Brown (Cartel Entertainment), Matt Drake (Abbott Street), Sam DeGange, Todd Masters, Doran Chandler, Dawn Knight, and Devan Towers also exec produce. Dynamic Television is the international distributor.
The ‘Day Of The Dead‘ tv series does not yet have a UK premiere date, but will air on Syfy UK either later this year, or early in 2022. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add it via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
