George A. Romero's zombie universe best known for Night of the Living Dead is sprawling. Here's an explanation of every sequel, remake, and spin-off.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead series is a sprawling, multimedia franchise with numerous sequels, remakes, and off-shoots. The amount of projects to follow in the wake of Romero's seminal 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead, is perhaps unrivaled. It didn't just launch a franchise; it launched an entire genre.
Day of the Dead Day of the Dead is the third entry in the series. Once again featuring new characters, Day is set a matter of months after the events of Night of the Living Dead, despite comments from Daniel Kraus who posthumously completed Romero's novel, The Living Dead, in 2020, and mistakenly claimed that Day of the Dead is set after Land of the Dead in an interview once.
Twilight of the Dead George A. Romero left behind several projects when he died, including a fully-produced, unreleased feature film. One project was the treatment for a seventh film in the Dead series set at the very end of the timeline, after Land of the Dead. The upcoming film Twilight of the Dead has been resurrected by his widow, Suzanne Romero, and is currently in post-production with a likely 2024 release.
Night of the Living Dead Wanting to finally make some money from the film they'd created after unfortunately forgetting to include a copyright symbol in Night of the Living Dead's end credits and thus allowing it to fall immediately into the public domain, George A. Romero, John A. Russo, and Tom Savini decided to work together on an official remake of Night of the Living Dead with Romero writing the screenplay and Savini making his directorial debut.
Dawn of the Dead One of the films responsible for relaunching the zombie genre in the early noughties was the official remake of Dawn of the Dead, written by James Gunn and directed by Zack Snyder. The horror movie remake establishes a new continuity, noticeably in which the zombies run. A sequel titled Army of the Dead was in development for years before eventually being reworked into the unrelated zombie movie released by Snyder in 2021.
