BBC America’s new “3-night Zombie Event”, “In The Flesh”, airs this week, and to help dig up your curiosity, the channel has just unveiled the first three minutes of the first episode, which you can watch below.
BBC is already working on a second season of the zombie show; that will air sometime next year.
IN THE FLESH follows zombie teenager Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry) and his reintegration back into both the local community and the heart of his family. After his suicide four years ago, his friends and family thought they’d never see Kieren again.
But shortly after his funeral, thousands rose from the dead; and after months of rehabilitation and medication, the zombies — now known as PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers — are gradually being returned to their homes. When Kieran arrives, he is forced to confront his family, the community that rejected him and haunting flashbacks of what he did in his untreated state.
IN THE FLESH airs on Thursday, June 6th, on BBC America at 10pm ET.
