We all fancy ourselves as the next Rick Grimes from theWalking Deadbut with Netlix’s new reality show, we’re starting to question ourselves. It might seem like a zombie reality show is an oxymoron but never doubtNetflix. Watch out password sharers - they seem to have control of the undead. It’s not quite how I saw the apocalypse coming but I’m honestly here for it.

Netflix has today launchedZombieverse,a reality show that pits contestants against the shuffling hordes. The premise is pretty novel, originally expecting a dating show, the contestants are surprised when people soon get a taste for human flesh. Our contestants, now survivors are a host of Korean celebrities plum in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

In general 2023 has been a pretty mixed for Netflix with a bunch of hits of varying quality. For everyHeartstopperorThey Cloned Tyrone,which debuted last month to a100% on Rotten Tomatoes, there’s been aHidden Strikewhich had a measly 17%.With the password crackdown boosting subscriber numbers it is nice to see that reflected back on screen with big-budget original ideas like Zombieverse which features scores of zombies in central Seoul (not cheap), something that it would be hard to imagine on a traditional television network. It’s one of the great things about thebest streaming servicesthat we can get access to programming from around the world.

If you’re looking for a reality show with a bit less at stake than life and death, maybe tryIs it Cake?
