Peacock Announces New Series Adaptation of DEAD DAY

Peacock announced it has ordered a series of Dead Day based on the bestselling AfterShock comic-book series created by Ryan Parrott. With producers Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Legacies) and Kevin Williamson (The Vampire Diaries, Dawson’s Creek, The Following), who will serve as co-showrunners, writers and executive producers the new drama series sounds like it’s in good hands. 

DEAD DAY follows an ensemble of characters as they navigate the annual “dead day,” when for one night the dead come back to complete unfinished business -- be that to celebrate a night back on earth or to torment the living.

Could be really good or could be really over the top dramatic, only time will tell. The comic has been greenlit for volume 2, so if the show goes well we have more source material for future seasons.
