Syfy’s ode to George A. Romero’s zombie classic Day of the Dead reminds us that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is a horde of hungry zombies trying to rip them apart.
The series follows six strangers, as they try to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.
Syfy released a sneak peek at today’s Day of the Dead panel at Comic Con @ Home.

[George Romero] established what we know as the modern zombie now in Night of the Living Dead and then in Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead — and everything else. He did it in a way that also added social commentary; it spoke to the times [in which] these movies were made … Every single zombie movie or TV show or graphic novel owes Romero for his legacy — Co-showrunner Scott Thomas at Comic Con @ Home.
