Undead Island

Undead Island (Subtitled Dead Water for series 2 and Back to the Island for series 3) is a British apocalyptic comedy-drama television series created by Ifan Barber that aired on Channel 4 starting July 23rd 2019.

It focuses on a group of young holidaymakers on the fictional Spanish island of Puesta De Sol who find themselves engulfed in a Zombie apocalypse across the resort. The series focuses not only on the group's aim to survive but also on the inter-character relationships of them all, both the pre-show established relationships and the growth of relationships introduced as the show progresses.

Three 8-part series have aired to date, with a fourth currently in development. Each series, about from the original, has had a subtitle based on the general theme of the series. Series 2 is subtitled Dead Water due to it being mainly set on a cruise ship set to rescue any survivors, while series 3 is subtitled Back to the Island, reflecting the series' main storyline.

The series has received critical acclaim for its light-hearted by effective storytelling and strong character development.

The series was renewed for a second series just a day after its debut episode aired on Channel 4. The series gained international success after being acquired by HBO in late 2019.

A third series was commissioned prior to the broadcast of the second, and was officially announced in the closing moments of the second series finale. A fourth series is set to be filmed shortly before the conclusion of the third instalment's broadcast on Channel 4.
