Skeet Ulrich to co-star in NBC’s zombie drama Babylon Fields

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Back in October of last year we learned that NBC had decided to resurrect the zombie-based series "Babylon Fields", a drama about the undead that had once lived at the network in 2007 before getting shot in the head without airing once. We learned that NBC had ordered a new pilot from the series' original creators Michael Cuesta, Gerald Cuesta and Michael Atkinson, and reported on the casting of Meagan Good earlier this month. Now we've learned that a "Jericho" alum has signed on to co-star.

THR is reporting that Skeet Ulrich (SCREAM) has signed on to "Babylon Fields", set to play identical twin brothers.

"Babylon Fields" centers on…

…the dead rising again in Babylon, N.Y., where lives are regained, old wounds are reopened and families are restored — for better or worse. The newly regenerated bodies are healing faster and growing stronger, prompting discussion that this might be the next step in human evolution.

Ulrich will play Father Harries, a local priest, and his twin brother, Graham, a junkie when alive, who returns from the dead.

Cuesta will write the script and executive produce alongside Michael Atkinson and Michael Cuesta, the latter of whom will direct the 20th Century Fox Television pilot.
