Series Overview
The Dead tells the story of a small group of survivors living in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. The first season mostly takes place in the Charlotte metropolitan area, and the second through fourth seasons in the surrounding countryside of northern and southern North Carolina, as the survivors search for a safe haven away from the shuffling hordes of predatory "Followers" (as the zombies are referred to in the show), who devour any living thing they catch, and whose bite is infectious to humans. The plot focuses primarily on the dilemmas the group faces as they struggle to maintain their humanity during the day-to-day challenges of surviving in a hostile world. This includes battling the zombie hordes, coping with casualties, and dealing with predatory human survivors.The group is led by Frank Petts, who was a Doctor before the zombie outbreak. At every turn they are faced with the horror of the walking zombies, the changing dynamic of their group, and hostility from the scattered remains of a struggling human populace who are focused on their own survival now that society's structures have collapsed.

Zombies in The Dead
Zombies within The Dead universe are Danny Boyle's version of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead zombies and Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead Zombies. Danny Boyle  wrote that "Romero's evolving zombies are his spin. Mine just keep rotting."Boyle's zombies are relatively weak and unintelligent as individuals, but are dangerous in large numbers, and are the main antagonists within the post-apocalyptic world of The Dead.Frank saw that the first 3 months people were just turning into them but after he saw people turn into Zombies Following classic Romero rules, the dead corpse of anyone that dies for any reason will reanimate as a zombie, unless the brain of that individual is badly damaged or destroyed. When a person dies, the infection they carry reactivates critical areas of the brain that support necessary vital systems, resulting in reanimation. Because only a portion of the brain is reactivated, the reanimated person retains only a physical resemblance to their former self.The first cases of infection progressed through a state of fever, aches, and internal bleeding, and this illness ultimately was fatal It apparently infects synapses, mostly concentrating on those in the brain stem. It eventually causes the adrenal glans to hemorrhage and the brain to shutdown, all brain activity would cease, followed by the major organs and the body would be clinically dead: no measurable brain activity, no reflexes, and no respiration or pulse. A variable time later, the pathogen through some means would revive synapses it infected and reactivate the brainstem of the dead body, but only the brainstem and not the cerebrum or cerebellum. The person would be dead, literally and figuratively, no respiration, pulse, or higher mental function, driven by subconscious survival instincts only. In this reanimated state, the dead body is able to wander around instinctively trying to feed itself even though it had no digestive or circulatory activity. A reanimated body responds to stimuli such as light, scent, and loud noises. Oddly, even if the head was separated from the body, as long as the brain was intact, the head would still attempt to eat anything within reach. The body was truly dead, which meant that it did not feel pain, had no reflexes, and wounds to it (apart from those directly inflicted on the brain) did not heal; its rate of decomposition slowed somewhat while reanimated, but the breakdown process continued. There is anecdotal evidence that some Followers retained vestigial elements of memory and personality such as clinging to possessions. A Follower was also once observed to use a brick as a tool, but there has been only one observation, and that was in the field.

Frank and Chris get in the truck with them and head off. 8. Wrong Turn Chris is in the car driving with everyone else and Frank ask Gabriel how long they have been doing this and they tell them they have been doing it since the begging of their community and there job is very dangerous since they scout a group and see if they are worthy enough to enter God’s End World kingdom and when Frank ask him what they do to people who are not worthy they do not answer and go into silence. They arrive at a former neighborhood and Gabriel tells everyone that they have look through the houses for supplies since the neighborhood fell recently and they agree until they see a pack of Followers and they shoot at them and Frank back up and aims his gun at Jacob’s head and Judas sees this and punches Frank and he misses his shot and instead shoots him in the arm.

Ghost and Angel enter the house and he ask Ghost his religious belief and Ghost tells him that he never believed religion and tells him that whatever God they believe must hate them a lot to cause this and Angel suggest that it’s just a test but Ghost denies it saying that it was random and he has no proof that God even exist until look at a patio slide door and Ghost opens the blinds and sees it is a herd of Followers in the back yard and Angel opens the door and pushes Ghost into the herd and closes it and Ghost kills 6 until he is beaten and devoured by the Followers and Angel sits down against the door with a wicked smile and tells him that is what happens to non-believers. Angel comes back in tears and tells them that Ghost was attacked by Followers. Chris gives Frank a look of non-trusting indicting both don’t believe Angel. Frank then ask Angel where the supplies are and Angel says he forgot them at the house and Justin takes Angel to the house and Gabriel has a worried look. Ally is back at the camp looking at Frank’s gun and then after feeding Olivia goes to the Joseph’s tent and zips it closed and points the gun at him and Joseph laughs at her and tells that she can’t afford killing him now since they are so close to the place but Ally tells him that since they have the priest they won’t need him but Joseph tells her that Frank only gave her the gun since he doesn’t think he is gonna make it since “The Saints” are gonna kill him and Ally then runs tells Ryan what Joseph said and Ryan ask her if Joseph is creditable but she tells him to do it and he agrees but says that it will take days to get there but still agrees and goes on his motorcycle.

And by, October 30th 2011, WBC confirmed that there would be a third season consisting of 16 episodes. Boyle also like to include some of the "environmental elements" At the 2012 Comic Con, WBC announced that it ordered a fourth season of The Dead, saying Season Four continues to deliver the strongest telecasts for any drama in the Channels history.

Also at Comic Con they showed the deaths of Vanessa and her unborn child as an sneka peek death that happens before Season 3 started.

Music
The show's score was composed by John Murphy, who worked on 28 Days Later which was released in a score/song compilation in 2003. It also features notable tracks from Brian Eno, Grandaddy, and Blue States. Ahvly edited version of the song "East Hastings" by the post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor appears in the film, but the track is excluded from the soundtrack, because Boyle could only obtain the rights film.

28 Days Later: The Soundtrack Album was released on 17 June 2003. A modified version of the soundtrack 'In The House – In A Heartbeat' was used as the character Big Daddy's theme in the 2010 film Kick-Ass. The same song was played in the latest advertisement campaign of Louis Vuitton, L'Invitation au Voyage

Makeup
Jim Rygiel is an executive producer and the key special effects makeup artist on the series. Each walker is put through "zombie school" and learns how to move like zombies. There are three levels of zombie makeup: Hero, Midground, and Deep Background. Hero zombies are featured walkers and are completely made over from head to toe. Midground zombies get highlights and shadows on the face, but do not get close enough to the camera to require full makeup. Deep background zombies often wear masks and are only meant to be used as a backdrop.

Filming
The Dead is mostly filmed in North Carolina, shot on 16 mm film. Rohn Schmidt was the director of photography for the pilot episode with Michael Slovis as the director of photography on the remainder of the episodes. Production design is done by Josh Foster and Alondra Excene Shields.
