Critically acclaimed writer Jack Cruz has been commissioned by the television network HBO to write and produce a new television show that they hope can rival the popularity of AMC's The Walking Dead. This show will detail the beginning, middle and for the survivor's, hopefully end of the outbreak of a zombie virus which threatens to wipe out humanity as we know it. A group of five survivors will band together to find the dead, but they will also need to fear the living. Stay tuned for casting news. Jack Cruz is very elated to be elected to take on this project by HBO. |

Five-0 in the apocalypse Daniel Dae Kim is set to take on the role of Andrew Choi. He was a member of the same police force as Claire Utley so expect there to be some connection there when they are both a member of the five survivors. |

Why are the dead among us? Why can't they go back underground? I'd rather be buried because I wanna come back as a zombie someday rather than be floating dust over the ocean or some stupid shit like that. Oh and I like the Strawhorski and Charlie human castings. IDK who the duck the other people are. Good luck.

I will be completely revamping what this is and how it will be done. It will be kind of done in a "comic" book format with actors standing in for the characters so there's a visual representation of who they are.
