Co-creators and showrunners Scott Thomas and Jed Elinoff, director Steven Kostanski, and stars Keenan Tracey and Natalie Malaika talked brains, blood, and taking inspiration from zombie legend George A. Romero at SYFY’s “Day of the Dead” panel at Comic-Con@Home.
With it came a new look at the 10-episode series coming this October that brought gut-spilling fun and zombie mayhem, below.
“Day of the Dead” is the story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion. This ode to George A. Romero’s famous flesh-eaters reminds us that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is a horde of hungry zombies trying to rip them apart.”
Day of the Dead stars Keenan Tracey (Bates Motel), Daniel Doheny (Alex Strangelove), Natalie Malaika (Fractured), Kristy Dinsmore (Vikings), and newcomer Morgan Holmstrom.
