Netflix Working ‘Army Of The Dead’ Prequel And Anime Spin-off

Hatten will write the prequel as well as the anime series. The prequel will be directed by Matthias Schweighofer, who also stars in “Army of the Dead” in a pivotal role. It will be produced by Snyder and Wesley Coller’s The Stone Quarry production along with Schweighofer and Dan Maag.

“It has already been a great pleasure to be part of this wonderful ensemble around Zack Synder – a fascinating project. I am happy that it is now being developed on so many different levels,” Schweighofer said. The anime series, titled “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas”, will chronicle the origin story of Bautista’s character and his rescue crew during the initial fall of Vegas as they confront the mysterious source of the zombie outbreak. Snyder will direct two episodes of the series, which will be showrun by Jay Oliva. Bautista, De la Reguera, Notaro, Hardwick and Purnell will be reprising their characters for the show. “Army of the Dead” will release on Netflix in 2021.
