zombie drama

Walking corpse show

A zombie drama is a television series or film centered on survival during a zombie apocalypse, typically focusing less on horror than on human relationships, moral dilemmas, and social breakdown.

The genre emphasizes character development and interpersonal conflict against a backdrop of undead threat: The Walking Dead remains the definitive zombie drama.
