Amazon Prime Video has announced a new Amazon Original TV series, “Narcos vs Zombies,” bringing audiences an exciting story crossing various genres, from science-fiction to horror to action. The eight-episode series is being created for a Mexican audience but will be available on Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
The series is created and written by Nicolas Entel (Pecados De Mi Padre) and Miguel Tejada Flores (Screamers, Beyond Re-Animator), directed by Rigoberto Castañeda (“Diablero,” “Hasta Que Te ConocÔ) and stars Sergio Peris-Mencheta (“Snowfall,” Rambo: Last Blood), Fátima Molina (“Falco,” Sueño en Otro Idioma), Horacio GarcÃa Rojas (Diablero, “Narcos: Mexico”), Nery Arredondo (Vuelven) and Adria Morales (“La Reina Soy Yo”).
“Narcos vs Zombies” follows the story of legendary narco kingpin Alonso MarroquÃn (Peris-Mencheta), who escapes from a high-security Mexican prison with his son Lucas (Nery Arredondo) and finds refuge hiding at Paradiso, a remote drug rehab facility located on the U.S. side of the border. Meanwhile, test subjects from a failed U.S. military experiment —intended to transform wounded soldiers into killing machines— are left for dead near the border, only to revive as deadly mutant zombies. In its pursuit of the runaway Marroquins, the Mexican SWAT team is infected by the newly-created zombies, becoming a zombie army in its own right. Alerted of the imminent threat that this new species represents to humanity, the U.S. Army embarks on a mission to annihilate them.
“Narcos vs Zombies” is the most recent Amazon Original series announced by Prime Video for Mexico and will be released sometime in 2020.
