In The Flesh was cancelled by BBC3 last year, and the move angered loyal fans of the series. The reaction to the cancellation was so great that Dominic Mitchell, creator of the series, is willing to revisit the characters and the story if he can find the capital needed to bring the film to the big screen.
According to Radio Times, Mitchell teased the possibility of a film and a Kickstarter campaign with the publication. He saw how that worked for Veronica Mars, and he is definitely open to doing the same with In The Flesh.
“I’m a big fan of the TV series Veronica Mars, and the creator / writer Rob Thomas did something similar when the show was untimely cancelled and I thought the film worked really well in a number of ways. It stood by itself, meaning if you hadn’t watched the show you could still enjoy the movie as a first time viewer and if you had watched the series it was a joy to meet the characters and re-enter that world again. That’s what I would like to try and accomplish if In The Flesh became a feature film, make it accessible to new audiences while also satisfying the loyal fan base.”
Mitchell has only the basics of an idea in mind for a big screen version of In The Flesh, but he said he would like to “explore the parallel universe of In The Flesh. See how they handle PDS sufferers in the capital, in Scotland, in Wales, in the whole of Great Britain.”
He is excited about that idea. Mitchell realized that the show’s cancellation left a lot of unanswered questions, and he is hoping to tie those up if he is able to move forward with the project.

Please Renew the “In the Flesh” series. I somehow stumbled on to this show, and in my opinion, this is the best zombie show ever created. It is one of the most original takes on a zombie series ever made. When I found out it was canceled I cried. Please renew. Still to this day in 2021, it is the best zombie series ever written,
I discovered In The Flesh on Amazon Prime and binge watched straight through in 2 days. PLEASE pursue offering it as a season 3 continuation with another network or streaming service, or at the very least make a movie to tie up the loose ends and finish telling this compelling story. Have you considered offering this storyline to Amazon Prime? They do a fine job presenting original content, and may be willing to sponsor this endeavor. Thank you.
I just finished season 2 and so so upset that they arebt doing season 3 i honestly dont think they should make it into a movie.. They need to keep it as a series. Bwcause once the movies are over theres nothing else left to watch. I just balled my eyes out over amy and i need to know why those people were digging her grave!?!?!?!? Whats next for everyone?!?!?!? This is just like how the walking dead isnt bringing back rick grimes and turning his parts into movies. Definately do not like the idea. But if it comes down… Read more »
