Zombieland: The Series. This is the failed 2013 television pilot from Amazon Studios and Zombieland creator Rhett Reese. Zombieland has faced development hell a few times over the last decade. The long-delayed sequel, Zombieland Double Tap, took ten years to fully bake. However, long before this sequel ever hit theatres, Zombieland: The Series almost happened. Created by one of the writers of the films, Rhett Reese, this series faced its demise before getting properly greenlit. While the film’s original characters did appear in the completed pilot episode, none of the original cast reprised their roles.
