Just a few days ago, casting information broke regarding a small screen take on the 2009 horror comedy Zombieland.

Today, Broadcast Now reveals that the series is, indeed, on the way and is being developed by Amazon as an original series.



Planned for 30-minute episodes, the television version of Zombieland returns the franchise to its original concept of an ongoing serialized comedy adventure.

As revealed in the casting breakdowns, Zombieland will blend familiar characters from the feature film with brand new characters specifically for the series.

"Zombieland" Pilot Dead at Amazon, Fans "Hated It out of Existence"

It’s a sad day in Zombieland-land: Franchise creator Rhett Reese — who co-wrote both the 2009 movie and the Amazon pilot that that movie has become with Paul Wernick — tweeted that the series “will not be moving forward on Amazon. Sad for everyone involved.”

The pilot has been available online for a month.



Rhett Reese blamed the fans for "Zombieland" not moving forward:

“I'll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence.”

“Anyway, we did our best, and we're very proud of our team.”



Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
