Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead is an independent television series produced in New York City, notable as being the first broadcast zombie-based television series. It details the lives of a group of friends banding together to survive the epidemic resurrection of dead humans. These re-animated corpses are driven by a need to feed, and only attack living humans. Conceived in 2005 by series creator Patrick Devaney, the show isn't so much about the zombies themselves and the fight against them; it's really about how the decisions characters make to survive to change them in profound ways.

  • Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead is an independent television series produced in New York City, notable as being the first broadcast zombie-based television series. It details the lives of a group of friends banding together to survive the epidemic resurrection of dead humans. These re-animated corpses are driven by a need to feed, and only attack living humans. Conceived in 2005 by series creator Patrick Devaney, the show isn't so much about the zombies themselves and the fight against them; it's really about how the decisions characters make to survive to change them in profound ways. The main character of Billy Cassidy (portrayed by Devaney) is an Irish Catholic whose violent actions are in direct conflict with his faith, often resulting in an inner conflict that quickly manifests itself in external ways. Paul Michael Bates and John Salazar (played by Christopher J. Murphy and Rick Martinez, respectively) are Cassidy's main partners, and they are later joined by Dr Rebecca Kaufman (Linnet Brooks) and Carrie Walker, RN (Teri Hansen). This constitutes the first main group of "hunters" in the first season. Though their personalities are vastly different from each other, their situation forces them all to find some common ground in order to make it through the ongoing crisis. There is also an underlying Judeo-Christian religious theme running through the series, which becomes more apparent in later episodes. In addition to this is everything Zombiephiles have come to expect from the genre: many firearms being used to shoot Zombies in the head, and graphic depictions of people being eaten alive (through practical effects created by SFX artist Michael A. Scardillo ), as well as all the emotional turmoil and psychological suspense that comes along with surviving a zombie apocalypse. Later television series of a similar nature appeared and showcased far too familiar storylines, resulting in conflict and controversy. To date, the show has aired on over 80 public access and public television stations across the US. Each episode is independently produced and funded through Devarez Films, LLC, and is distributed in the US through Wild Eye Releasing. The series is produced Devarez Films. (en)
