TV Spot for IN THE FLESH Hints at More Zombie Action in Season 2


In the Flesh s2 logo wide

If you watched the first season of BBC America‘s miniseries In the Flesh, you know that there was minimal zombie action. After all, the zombies in this series (referred to as those with Partially Dead Syndrome) have been cured, or more specifically they take a cure, that makes them act like as they did when they were fully alive, before they contracted PDS.

But what if they stopped taking the cure? There is a movement taking hold amongst those with PDS — the Undead Liberation Army — that supports some radical ideas, and that may be one of them, if the TV spot below is any indication.

TV Spot: In the Flesh – Season 2: The Undead are Back

In fact, check out a portion of the new and more detailed overview of Season 2 released by BBC America:

‘They’re only one missed dose away from ripping our heads apart’ is the mantra of zombie haters out to destroy the fragile peace reached between the Undead and the Living. Enter the hotbed town of Roarton when season two of the BAFTA nominated series, In The Flesh, BBC AMERICA’s genre-bending six-part zombie mini-series, returns Saturday, May 10, 10:00pm ET. What happens when the Undead re-enter society as functioning beings? Can things ever go back to normal? And more importantly, who is more dangerous, the Undead or the Living? Nine months have passed and the war to protect the town from the Undead, known as Partially Deceased Syndrome (PDS) sufferers has ceased. Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry, The Legend of Hercules) however, is still struggling to find self-acceptance and longs to escape to Paris to start anew. But in the wider world, the fear of an uprising is palpable. PDS terrorists linked to the Undead Liberation Army (ULA), believing they are ‘the redeemed’, are going rabid (zombie state) off the drug, Blue Oblivion, and attacking the Living at an alarming rate – causing the radical Pro-Living political party, Victus, to target the Undead with vigor and oppressive measures. And with the arrival of new and explosive characters from both factions in Roarton, Kieren is caught square in the middle of a new budding war, making his desire for a quiet life an unrealistic option.

I think more zombie action is a safe bet.
