Four years ago, it was announced that Ben Wheatley would be writing, directing, and executive producing Generation Z, a “hilarious, frightening, and political” series that would consist of six hour-long episodes that would “mix flesh-eating zombies into a story that satirizes how Brexit has divided the UK.” That project didn’t make it into production when it was originally supposed to because of the pandemic shutdown… but after making his latest film Meg 2: The Trench (you can read our review at This Link and check out our interview with the filmmaker Here), Wheatley has circled back around to Generation Z and is now knee-deep into filming it! To celebrate the fact that Generation Z is finally being made, Channel 4 has unveiled a batch of first look images, and you can check those out at the bottom of this article.

Kill List, Free Fire, and High-Rise director Ben Wheatley announced plans for the Brexit zombie series “Generation Z” for UK’s Channel 4 back in 2019. UK broadcaster Channel 4 has unveiled first look images at the six-part series, along with its cast.
Channel 4 describes the series as a “coming-of-age parable for our very strange times – cut with a heavy dose of outlandish gore.” Check out the first look images below.
The plot for the six-part series: “In a small British town, tensions come to a head when a mysterious military convoy crashes outside the Sunnywise Retirement Home. The vehicles were carrying a toxic substance, which, as a result of the crash, leaks into the local environment and infects the residents of the retirement community. The symptoms of this infection quickly manifest – an overwhelming appetite for raw flesh. They’re old, they’re angry and they’re on the rampage. As the...

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child may have been an unexpected and rather unusual sequel to the story of the Chosen One, but it also gave us the perfect opportunity to spend a little more time with our favorite characters in the Wizarding World of Hogwarts.
It was just a couple of years ago when J.K. Rowling announced that the official sequel to The Deathly Hollows was in the works to hit the stage in 2016. Unfortunately for Potterheads all around the world, though, earlier that year, the actor behind Severus Snape and legendary artist Alan Rickman lost his battle to pancreatic cancer and died at the age of 69. Rickman’s portrayal of the grey character, who even posed as a villain for most of the series, truly brought him to life and made his last goodbye at the end of the final film all the more emotional.
