The new series is a tribute to the entertainment industries iconic George A. Romero<\/a>, creator of the famous \u201cLiving Dead\u201d series of films.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many will recall the famous \u201cNight of the Living Dead<\/a>\u201d (1968) film in which Mr. Romero not only wrote the screenplay and directed the film, few know that he also appeared in the film in an un-credited role as a news reporter. \u201cNight of the Living Dead<\/a>\u201d was followed by a series of hit \u201cLiving Dead\u201d movies that stretched for nearly four decades, setting the benchmark for such science fiction drama films that are legend to this very day!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now comes \u201cDay of the Dead<\/a>\u201d, a fun entertaining science fiction series with a stellar cast starring Keenan Tracey<\/a> (Debris, Fringe) as Cam McDermott, Daniel Doheny<\/a> (Brand New Cherry Flavor, Supernatural) as Luke Bowman, Natalie Malaika<\/a> (Charmed, Good Witch) as Lauren Howell, Morgan Holmstrom<\/a> (Under the Autumn Moon, I Still See You) as Sarah Blackwood, Kristy Dawn Dinsmore<\/a> (Vikings, The Stand) as Amy, Miranda Frigon<\/a> (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, Primeval New World) as Paula Bowman, Mike Dopud<\/a> (Power, Stargate Universe) as Detective McDermott, Dejan Loyola<\/a> (iZombie, Fringe) as Jai Fisher, Marci T. House<\/a> (Tribal, Van Helsing) as Captain Pike, Kevin O’Grady<\/a> (Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Fringe) as Rhodes, Matty Finochio<\/a> (The Order, Sanctuary) as Bobby Hart, Trezzo Mahoro<\/a> (Van Helsing, The Magicians) as Trent, Christopher Russell<\/a> (Star Trek Discovery, Lost Girl) as Trey Bowman, Lucia Walters<\/a> (Virgin River, Stargate Atlantis) as Logan, Stefanie von Pfetten<\/a> (The Man in the High Castle, Numb) as Cindy, Michel Issa Rubio<\/a> (Snowpiercer, Once Upon A Time) as Thin Zombie, Darryl Scheelar<\/a> (Arrow, Fringe) as Magnum, and Caitlin Stryker<\/a> (Clarice, Continuum) as Nicole.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDay Of The Dead\u201d was created by Jed Elinoff<\/a> (Ravens Home, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated) and Scott Thomas<\/a> (Malibu Rescue, Raven’s Home) featuring superb directing by Steven Kostanski<\/a> (Psycho Goreman, Leprechaun Returns), Jem Garrard<\/a> (Motherland: Fort Salem, Wynonna Earp), and Jacquie Gould<\/a> (Obi Wan Kenobi, Van Helsing) at production facilities run by Dynamic Television<\/a>, Abbott Street Films<\/a>, Cartel Pictures<\/a> and DOTD S1 Productions<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Day Of The Dead” is described by the creators as \u201cSix strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.\u201d<\/em> Of interest, it appears that the ten season one episodes may follow the format of the hit series \u201c24\u201d, focusing on the action of a single day in the living, and the undead, within the town of \u00a0Mawinhaken, Pennsylvania, as inhabitants flee for their lives. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If the series is successful, this could setup a “Day Two”, “Day Three” type of story arc that was loved by “24” fans. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fingers crossed for a successful first season run with more seasons in the future!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is to come next in “Day Of The Dead”? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right undead fans, Zombies… lots of Zombies!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
