Zombieland TV Show Headed Straight To Amazon's Streaming Services

[Brendon Connelly]

Hitting Netflix where it hurts, though it remains to be seen just how hard, Amazon have commissioned a TV do-over of Zombieland. Well, I say TV - it's going to be distributed as a stream.

This is the very same show we were looking at casting details for just last week.

Broadcast got the scoop when speaking to Gavin Polone, producer of the original film. He says he's working with Amazon on the streaming version too.

There's no idea of a time scale as yet, but Netflix haven't been bound by the usual cycles of TV seasons and I assume Amazon won't be either.

I imagine the show will be distributed via the Amazon-owned Lovefilm in the UK, where Amazon don't have a branded video streaming service.

Is it going to be offered through the Amazon Prime deal exclusively or will they charge for episode-by-episode or a full season?

Eh I'll wait for a blu ray deal.

Interesting.

Only tried Amazon streaming once -- it locked up my system and I had to hard-reset -- but I tend to believe competition is a good thing and Amazon and Netflix could both use some.

I'm thrilled at the prospects of new ways for distributing TV shows. As far as I'm concerned the cable TV model can't die soon enough.
