Zombie Celebs' Wild New Adventure: Netflix's Survival Show

Korea, SouthSat Nov 30 2024
Did you know that zombies and reality TV go way back? In 2008, Charlie Brooker, the creator of Black Mirror, made a show called Dead Set. It was about people stuck in a Big Brother house during a zombie apocalypse. There were even real people trying to outrun fake zombies in a BBC show called I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse. But the weirdest and maybe the best is the Korean reality show Zombieverse. Zombieverse is back with a new season, and it's wilder than ever. Celebrities are trying to survive a fake zombie outbreak. They have to make tough choices and deal with heartbreaking losses. Season 1 was a bit silly, but Season 2 is better. One celebrity, Ro Hong-chul, was bitten by a zombie in Season 1, but he's back and alive in Season 2. He has a cool zombie virus antibody story similar to The Last of Us. This show has a lot of funny moments with written captions. It's a unique mix of reality TV and zombie drama. It makes you think about how much we want to survive and be entertained. Do we want to live or just watch exciting shows? You'll have to stream it on Netflix to find out!
