In the Flesh is a unique take on a zombie apocalypse: what happens when humanity survives the uprising and so do the zombies? When 18-year-old Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry, Anna Karenina, Quartet) committed suicide four years ago, his friends and family thought they’d never see him again that is, until the dead began to rise. After a catastrophic war, imprisonment, and months of rehabilitation and medication, hoards of brain-craving undead have returned to a lucid state.
The zombies, now known as PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers, are gradually being introduced back into a society that so recently fought them off for survival. For Kieren, returning home means confronting the community that rejected him and the family he chose to leave behind. Can Kierens neighbors forgive him for what he did in his untreated state? More importantly, can Kieren forgive himself- for his life as a zombie, and for the things he did before? This three-part mini-series about feeling other explores how chaos is born, and the destructive effects it can have on both the individual and the community. A second season of this critically acclaimed series, created by Dominic Mitchell, has already been confirmed.
