“Deadlands”: a zombie series from New Zealand coming to German television
Sky takes on the New Zealand series
The series combines legendary New Zealand mythology with a zombie horror story: the cruel Maori warrior Waka Nuku Rau is killed, but his ancestors prevent him from reaching the afterlife. Wakka must return to the world as an undead to atone for his sins in a dangerous quest: someone or something has broken the fragile connection between the world of the living and the world of the dead. As a result, the spirits of the deceased return as zombies and haunt the living. Waka tries to save the world with the brave young Mihi, grappling with tribal politics, ancestral spirits, and other natural and supernatural forces in his mission.
The film stars Te Kohi Tohaka, Darnen Christian, Jordie Webber, Vicki Houghton, Calvin Tuteu, Kirk Torrance, and Grace Palmer.
