Zombieverse is a Netflix variety series that puts a set of celebrities to the test and see whether they have what it takes to survive a zombie apocalypse.
Netflix has already given us one must-watch Korean survival series in 2023 year in the form of Physical: 100, and Zombieverse sees the streamer bringing another unorthodox reality series to our screens.
In Zombieverse, our team of unwitting celebs arrive in Seoul under the pretense of having applied for a dating series. When they find the place crawling with the undead, they end up working together in a fight for survival as the city has been overrun by hordes of the undead. Soon, they're forced to go out in search of food, shelter, and more and take on daily tasks to help support the team, all while they try to avoid getting "bitten" and taken out of the competition themselves.
Here's what you need to know about Zombieverse.

What is Zombieverse about?
As we've explained, Zombieverse will task a group of 'survivors' with attempting to survive a zombie apocalypse.
Set on the streets of Seoul in South Korea, the series will put the group to the test and force them to band together in order to take on daily tasks whilst also going out in search of essentials like food and water.
Along the way, they'll be dodging the walking dead and trying not to get 'bitten'; if they are, they'll be forced to exit the game.
The series has been produced by Park Jin-kyung (My Little Television) and Moon Sang-don (Hey! First Time in Korea?).
Is there a Zombieverse trailer?
Yes! A Zombieverse teaser landed on July 10, and it throws us right into the heart of the new show's pretend apocalypse. Although it's less than a minute long, this teaser showcases some of the carnage that we can expect to see this summer, as survivors grapple with the shambling creatures that have taken over.
In it, we see scenes of zombies swarming in and around a theme park a supermarket, and a city district and see some of our survivors trying—and in some cases, failing—to take on the undead. Check it out here:
