Syfy’s upcoming Day of the Dead TV series will have some ties to the original movie by George A. Romero, suggesting the show will be set in the same universe as opposed to serving as a complete remake.
Written and directed by George A. Romero, Day of the Dead was released in 1985.
A prequel, Day of the Dead 2: Contagium, was released in 2005, but with no involvement from Romero.
Hopefully, by tying directly to the original Romero movie, the new series from Syfy will turn out better than the prequel and the remakes.
