When I read the concept of this new series I was… expecting the worst. Throwing cheerleaders in with zombies just seems like a bad combination. Watching the trailer though I’ll give this one a shot. I don’t know if it will be good but the trailer at least shows that it could be good – we’ll see how the first episode plays out.
Call it a zom-com, if you like: Cheerleaders vs. Redneck Zombies combines wit and satire with zombie horror and gore. The twist? Our zombies are just good ol’ boys – but they’re a’ meanin’ a lot of harm.
The series follows the Romero High School cheer squad, who find themselves pitted against the undead Po’Dunk clan. The team’s got the moves, the charm, and the spirit – but can they survive a deadly game of survival deep in the forest of New England?

Hi Stuart – I’m the writer and director of CvsRZ and I’m really glad you’re interested in the concept. I wrote the series out of a respect and passion for the zombie genre, especially Romero’s Living Dead line and the Dan O’Bannon “Return” franchise spinoff. If you’re interested in an advance screening of episode one for review purposes, do feel free to write me.
