High Rise and In The Earth filmmaker Ben Wheatley is making his first foray into television with Generation Z, a six-part, darkly comic zombie series that is currently being filmed in Wales. Channel 4 recently unveiled the first-look at the show, which stars Robert Lindsay, Sue Johnston, and Anita Dobson.

The series centres on the town of Dambury, where an army convoy overturns outside a care home and a chemical leak starts to have an adverse effect on the residents there. The pensioners, led by Cecily (Johnston) and Frank (Paul Bentall) escape the grasp of the army looking to contain their angry, violent, insatiable hunger for human flesh. A group of teenagers become caught up in the situation when one of the gang’s grandmothers becomes infected and attacks her.

Per the logline, “Generation Z is about intergenerational justice and community breakdown that boldly satirizes a world where truth is stranger than fiction, exploring not just the political fault lines in our society but also the very real issues facing teenagers today.”

The cast also includes Lewis Gribben, Jay Lycurgo, Buket Komur, Viola Prettejohn, and Johnny Vegas. Wheatley writes and directs the series, produced by Alex Kazamia. As executive producer, Wheatley is joined by Mark Pybus, George Faber, and Beth Willis.
