The zombie world created by George A. Romero is coming to the small screen! Demarest, the folks behind Tusk, have announced that they will be adapting the 15-issue graphic novel Empire Of The Dead, which was written by Romero and published by Marvel, into a TV series. The announcement came today at Cannes.
According to Variety, “The series will be written by Romero and longtime partner Peter Grunwald, and executive produced by Romero and Grunwald with Demarest’s Sam Englebardt and William D. Johnson.”
The comic series not only focused on the zombie plague but also introduced vampires into the mix. It took place mainly in New York City.
Romero is the man who brought us Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead, three of the most iconic and important zombie horror films ever released.
