Empire of the Dead is bringing more zombies to television, and there is word out now that the series could land on AMC.
Cinema Blend reported that AMC was adding the new zombie to its line-up. That would mean AMC would corner the market when it comes to zombies on the small screen. The network already airs The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead.
Arthur Suydam, the comic artist that worked on the comics, teased a bit about the show’s future at the Wizard World Convention.
“The series that I just finished up is for Marvel Comics. So this is me and George Romero, and this just got signed to AMC, so it’s gonna be the new big zombie series on AMC. It’s expected to be this one right here.”
This wouldn’t be a zombie series like The Walking Dead. The series is set in New York City after a zombie outbreak, but the city also has a large population of vampires. The humans will be stuck in between the two.
No word yet on when this series would arrive on AMC. Would you watch Empire of the Dead? Tell us what you think.
I will definitely be watching this new series. I love zombies and can never get enough of them.
it would be great to see romeros new work.!!?
Yes i would watch this show,i love Zombie movies. Fear the dead is almost unbearable to watch though. And i love zombie movies. The show does not have likable actors. They are just to dark and grumpy for my taste. Walking Dead has great actors and i can connect with them. They seem more like people that i would know.
Yes, I would watch this show. But I have an idea for a new and untried show possibility. How about zombies and vampires captured by humans and being forced to do slave labor in factories and in fields? We could throw in sex and money for even more zing.
