[StS]

Announced last month, Zack Snyder‘s upcoming Netflix zombie film Army of the Dead is getting a spinoff prequel animated series with “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,” which will center on Dave Bautista‘s character from Army of the Dead. Bautista is returning to voice the character, and Deadline brings more casting news our way this afternoon.

Joe Manganiello (Justice League), Christian Slater (Mr. Robot), Harry Lennix (The Blacklist), Ross Butler (13 Reasons Why), Anya Chalotra (The Witcher), Vanessa Hudgens (Tick, Tick … Boom!), Yetide Badaki (American Gods), Christina Wren (Man of Steel), Monica Barbaro (The Good Cop) and Nolan North (Star Trek: Lower Decks) have signed on. They join Bautista, Ana De La Reguera, Tig Notaro, Omari Hardwick and Ella Purnell.

Deadline notes, “The spin-off series will focus on the origin story of Scott (Bautista) and highlight his rescue crew’s efforts to protect all they love during the first phases of the mysterious zombie outbreak in Vegas.” Zack Snyder is directing two of the episodes.

Jay Oliva will be show-running “Lost Vegas.”

Und ich kann nicht glauben, dass es dafür eine Zielgruppe gibt, die den Aufwand lohnt.
