McG to Produce 'Zombies vs. Vampires'
NBC has just bought a spec script for Zombies vs. Vampires, a new show developed by Jake in Progress creator Austin Winsberg, Warner Bros. TV, and Terminator Salvation helmer McG (pictured above).
Deadline broke the news. The site says the project is being described as a "'fun buddy cop procedural'... set in a world where zombies are a part of society, controllable with medication. The show's two leads (one secretly a vampire) are cops assigned to a squad specifically formed to deal with 'zombie crime'."
The premise sounds strangely similar to Zeros, which was announced earlier this week by the SyFy Channel. This show also deals with a government-sanctioned team that deals with zombie issues.
