The series was set to continue as an ongoing series, but that is no longer the case. Amazon decided to pass on the project, where the pilot garnered many negative reviews. A majority from fans criticizing the film and series writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for using the same characters, but having different actors portray them.

The writers were very passionate about the project getting off the ground, so when the unfortunate news hit, Reese took to his Twitter feed to share his thoughts:

The actors were bad. The jokes were bad (really need to take count of how many times Tallahassee says vag?). the characters weren't portrayed as they were in the film. Columbus was so bad he was unbelievable as a survivor. Wichita was overly bitchy and looked like she was trying to immitate Emma Stone at times while doing her own thing others. Little Rock came off the best in my opinion, but they focused too much on her cussing like we, the viewing audience, should have our jaws drop because she said a "naughty" word. Tallahassee came off as offish and the village idiot more so than the twinky loving badass we all came to know. It really was hard to watch.

Hated it out of existence...? :facepalm:

This haters nonsense needs to be hated out of existence.

I'm tired of everyone with a contrarian opinion being discredited as a 'hater'

It's as if people expect others to be sycophantic homers that gush over everything they encounter. Nobody is allowed to have standards anymore, good grief.

"I'll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence."

It was hated because it was the same characters with a different cast. The cast for Zombieland perfectly defined those characters. These replacements just made it feel like a cheap knock-off. Reese and Wernick should have been more original and just created new characters for the new cast.

I knew it would go down like this. Its going to be one of those things in twenty years when you look on the Zombieland on Wikipedia you'll see and then hit the link on and then go"oh yeah that one show that didn't even last a year" and then you'll never think about it again.

Movie was good but series not needed.
That being said..for those wanting the actual cast of movie in show are idiots.
Those actors would never stop lucrative movie roles to do that show..never was gonna happen.

Are you mentally handicapped?! You should have had completely new characters from the stat... You failed even before you got going!
