Netflix launches new season of Zombieverse featuring celebrity contestants in staged zombie apocalypse

Netflix has released a new season of "Zombieverse," a reality series where celebrities pretend to survive a zombie apocalypse. This season features a mix of new and returning contestants navigating staged challenges in a fictional setting. The show blends scripted and unscripted elements but struggles with clarity and engagement. Contestants face confusing tasks while avoiding actors dressed as zombies, leading to a lack of excitement and coherence in the competition. Critics describe "Zombieverse: New Blood" as a failed attempt to merge reality TV with zombie tropes, resulting in a disjointed viewing experience. The series has been labeled as unoriginal and uninspired, prompting recommendations to skip it.
