• Zom-B TV show update

    15 January 2024

    I'm afraid I have sad news for those of you hungering for a Zom-B TV show. As some of you may recall, the series was optioned by Electric Shadow Company several years ago. They hired sceenwriter Susan Connolly to write a pilot script, which they then pitched to a variety of TV producers in the UK/USA/Canada.

     

    As I've previously reported -- no joy on those fronts.

     

    But as I also previously reported, they then set their sights elsewhere and tried to get it off the ground in a very different country. I couldn't say where that was in my previous updates, but can now reveal that it was in fact... FINLAND!!!

     

    ESC teamed up with a Finnish production team, and managed to attach a promising director to the project, but again, when they pitched it to various Finnish TV studios, the answer was... no.

     

    So, alas, we have now come to the end of the road. The team gave it their very best shot, thought outside the box, and did everything they could to get it going, but at the moment the big TV production companies just aren't biting.

     

    So, the rights have reverted to me, and Zom-B is no longer under option. Hopefully another team will come back in for it at some point in the future, perhaps when the world is more ready for my seemingly ever-more-prophetic tale of how far-right extremists and power-hungry billionaires could act as harbingers for a zombie apocalpyse...

     

    In the meantime, let's not shed TOO many tears, for as the old cliche goes, whenever one door closes in life, another opens, and as fate would have it, there are stirrings on the optioning front of ANOTHER of my series, so perhaps I'll have a balancing-out positive bit of news to report on the optioned-for-a-potential-TV-show front in the not-too-distant future...
