'Zombieland' To Return To Life As A Television Series
Noting the success of AMC's 'The Walking Dead', Fox, in conjunction with Sony Pictures Television, decided it was time to nut up or shut up and has gone into development on a half-hour comedy series based on the film 'Zombieland,' which starred Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as a quartet of traveling undead slayers. A sequel to the hit comedy is due in theaters next year. The 'Zombieland' series will be written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick who also penned the screenplay to the 2009 film. The series is intended to hit the airwaves in time for the 2012-2013 season. No word yet as to casting, or whether the lead hero will wear a badass snakeskin jacket.
What's troublesome about this story is a remark from producer Gavin Palone in which he states that if the TV series is successful, they may not feel the need to move forward with the theatrical sequel. The problem there is that both the series and the sequel are due in the same year. It's not logistically possible to accurately gauge the success of the show and, if it's failing, green-light the film and have it ready for theaters that same year. This seems like an ill-advised juggling act.
Would you guys watch a 'Zombieland' TV series?

After seeing the dramatic success of Zombieland Id like to see the following. More " Rules" and references to Zombie Kill of the week. Both of which were some of the funniest parts of the film.
However to proceed with a 30 minute sitcom which I cannot imagine will live up to the past project I think it is grossly unfair to base a sequel on the tv shows success or failure.

It needs to be on a cable network and not a regular network like ABC or FOX because it will suck and get cancelled real quick, it would be great if it was on HBO or Showtime because they could do alot more, thats why everbody likes The Walking Dead because it's on a cable network and not on NBC!!!

I would enjoy the series if they were able to get the entire cast back to do the series. However, the idea of getting 2 big name stars (Harrelson & Jesse) is a pretty big stretch.
I'd rather see a thoughtful sequel with the original cast then a series with, more likely than not, a forgettable cast that would pale in comparison.

The tv show would only work, if there isn't a sequel.

FOX will kill this show so the logic of "base the success of the tv show to make or not make the theatrical sequel" when both are in the same year is just stupidity.
They need to do both and hope both do well, a half hour is not enough time for a tc show like this however as its not enough time unless its a sitcom. Zombieland is comedy but not like a sitcom, doubt the tv show will work if its only getting a half hour on FOX.

I like the idea of a sequel and a tv show but maybe space out your endevours? The TV show idea raises many questions
