George A. Romero is bringing his zombie-vampire Marvel mashup series to TV

Another zombie series may soon be joining “The Walking Dead” and “iZombie” on the small-screen.

George A. Romero is developing an adaptation of his Marvel Comics series “Empire of the Dead” for TV, according to Variety. The 15-issue graphic novel will be adapted by Romero alongside Peter Grunwald, who first worked with Romero as a producer on his 1988 film “Monkey Shines” and later produced three entries in his “Dead” film series.

The announcement was made by producer Demarest at the Cannes Film Festival.

“Empire of the Dead” will release its final issue in August. The series, which also features vampires in the mix, was split into three five-issue acts.
