'Marvel Zombies' is Marvel's first TV-MA animated series, streaming on Disney+
"Marvel Zombies" is a 4-part event, streaming September 24th exclusively on Disney+.
A new generation of Marvel heroes battle against an ever-spreading zombie scourge. That's the premise of a brand new, horror-infused series for mature audiences only.
"Marvel Zombies" is the first Marvel Studios animated series to receive a TV-MA rating.
"It's a big, giant, epic quest story," says Brad Winderbaum, the Executive Producer and Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation for Marvel Studios. "What you see on screen is these characters gathering and disintegrating as they try to survive this crazy zombie world."
A desperate group of survivors race to save their world.
"We made a zombies episode of 'What If...?' back in the day, and immediately Bryan and I were like, 'Okay, we have to low key start developing a spin-off because there's so much more to tell here," Winderbaum says.
These Marvel masterminds reassembled their Avengers in the voiceover booth, including Francis Pugh, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, and other stars across the Marvel universe.
"Everyone had a blast," says Bryan Andrews, the Director/Executive Producer/Writer of "Marvel Zombies." "It was really fun. They got to cut loose."
The creators also had fun bringing Marvel's first TV-MA animated series to life.
"The gloves came off," Andrews said. "You really get to show what some of these characters can do when they're not in a PG-13 movie. They can really go nuts. It's liberating and free, because you're not constrained. When you're untethered, then it truly is just a playground, and that's the best."
"Marvel Zombies" is a 4-part event. All episodes stream September 24th exclusively on Disney+.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Marvel Studios, Disney+ and this ABC station.
