Amazon Studios has picked up on the surprisingly popular movie and the not so surprising Zombie fetish we have and announced its latest offering.<\/p>\n<p>Zombieland the series will be produced as a pilot and make its way into your living room via Amazon Prime. It is the seventh comedy pilot announced by the online TV studio and it joins six\u00a0children&#8217;s\u00a0show pilots also under production.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Zombieland is a fan favorite and we can\u2019t wait to see where this story line goes in a serialized format&#8221;, Roy Price, Amazon Studios director, says. &#8220;We\u2019ve been announcing a lot of exciting exclusive content for Prime Instant Video, like\u00a0<em>Downton Abbey<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Under the Dome<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Justified,<\/em>\u00a0and we think adding original shows to that lineup is going to make Prime even more enticing for customers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Creator Paul Wernick says &#8220;Zombieland will strive to break the rules\u2014action, adventure, thrills, chills and laughs and all packed into a half hour format&#8221;. These are lofty expectations here, so the show had better deliver now.<\/p>\n<p>Production has not yet started, so there is no release date yet announced, but in the meantime Prime customers have a quickly growing number of choices from the movie and TV show library. Amazon is in a race with Netflix, which is also now producing original content.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=NScVtfWFPtk:YPok_GAwIYg:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=NScVtfWFPtk:YPok_GAwIYg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/bn\/~4\/NScVtfWFPtk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zombieland, the 2009 cult classic movie, about four unlikely people who come together\u00a0to fight their way across an undead-filled America, is making a comeback of sorts &#8212; rising from the dead, as it were.
