It appears Amazon doesn't want to be left out of the "genre series" business. This maneuver seems like an appropriate counter to what is brewing at Netflix: Hemlock Grove, an original series which is set to debut on April 19th.
Planned for 30-minute episodes, the small screen version of "Zombieland", which initially began as a TV series idea until it was reworked into a feature film, returns the franchise to that original concept of an ongoing serialized comedy adventure. The Zombieland series will blend familiar characters from the feature film with brand new characters specifically for the series.
Sadly, it doesn't look like the original film's cast will be a part of the production as there have been casting calls for the four major characters (Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock) as well as other minor characters.
