That’s right fans – it’s all your fault that the Zombieland The Series series has not been picked up by Amazon for more episodes.
The pilot episode was released last month but was met with very negative reactions by fans of the original movie who gave the show a lot of ★ reviews. Amazon’s idea being that by posting the episode online with a voting system, they could see how the episode would play to an audience.
Turns out, it didn’t play well.
But with the news of it not being picked up for more episodes, series creator Rhett Reese took to Twitter to blame the “fans” who he says, “hated it out of existence”.
“Our Zombieland series will not be moving forward on Amazon. Sad for everyone involved” he tweeted. “I’ll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence.”
He finishes up by saying that the team did their best. At least they tried, eh?
Many feel that the recasting of the main characters was the core issue for the show’s failure, while others think there were bigger problems afoot. Regardless of what they did or did not do, they were always going to struggle to carry on the story without the likeable cast the movie had.
