SYFY has announced the pickup of two new co-productions – the 10-episode The Surrealtor, produced by Blue Ice Pictures, and Day of the Dead, a 10-episode series based on George A. Romero’s classic film and produced by Cartel Entertainment. Both are expected to air on SYFY in 2021.
In The Surrealtor, realtor Nick Roman and an elite team of specialists handle the cases that no one else can: haunted and possessed houses that literally scare would-be buyers away. Researching, investigating and “fixing” the things that go bump in the night, the team works to create closure—and closings --even as they struggle with demons of their own.
The 10-episode series is executive produced by Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron along with George Olson who will also serve as showrunner.
Day of the Dead is the intense story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion. This ode to George A. Romero’s famous flesh-eaters reminds us that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is a horde of hungry zombies trying to rip them apart.
The 10-episode series is produced by Cartel Entertainment. Showrunners are Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas who will also write. Stan Spry, Jeff Holland, Drew Brown executive produce on behalf of Cartel Entertainment, along with Robert Dudelson, James Dudelson, Jordan Kizwani from HiTide Studios.
Day of the Dead and The Surrealtor join a SYFY originals lineup that includes upcoming new drama series Resident Alien, Vagrant Queen and the Chucky television adaptation; longstanding scripted favorites Wynonna Earp, Van Helsing and The Magicians; late night animation block TZGZ; and fan-focused franchises including SYFY Wire’s The Great Debate, the upcoming series hosted by Baron Vaughn.
