We are at the second to last show for the season of Day of the Dead<\/a>. Naturally, since the title of this episode focuses on death at Paymart, we are fairly certain that someone is about to die. But who? <\/span><\/span>Also, clues about who is responsible for the zombification of this small town and why, are beginning to come together. The zombie apocalypse doesn’t seem to be quite as accidental as we first thought made clear by the creators in an episode directed by industry veteran Jem Garrard<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Before my review of the eighth episode of Day of the Dead<\/a>, good news. DOTD has bounced back, now averaging 218,000 live and DVR same day viewers for the United States, not counting Canada and SYFY franchises around the world broadcasting Day of the Dead. Much depends on these numbers for a potential for second season in which Zombies break out worldwide as George A. Romero<\/a> envisioned in the “Night of the Living Dead” movie.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Importantly, in discussions between myself and Kenn, it appears DOTD may have been developed as a single season show, so there may not ever have been a plan for more. <\/span><\/span>I am going to cross my fingers for Day of the Dead since SYFY recently renewed Chucky which dipped below 300,000 viewers on average. But we must compare Day of the Dead with their current flagship program Resident Alien, which averaged ~950,000 viewers, so a second season could be a stretch. We should know more soon if a second season is in the works or not. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
