The stakes get even higher when the participants must try to reach a rescue ship at Wolmido island, all the while dodging a relentless onslaught of zombies.

Despite its zombie-ridden backdrop, Zombieverse balances genuine suspense with moments of laughter. Subtle scheming among the cast, along with their humorous responses to their bizarre predicament, highlight the show’s unique charm. Through a range of quirky survival tactics, Zombieverse marks the arrival of a fresh reality show concept that intertwines humor and suspense within a zombie apocalypse scenario.

The captivating main poster showcases a formidable lineup of Korea’s most sought-after variety show stars, ensnared in the grip of a massive zombie hand. This ensemble cast includes trending personalities Lee Si-young (of the Sweet Home series) and Dex (from Single’s Inferno), alongside Ro Hong-chul, Park Na-rae, and many more.

By seamlessly blending elements of horror, action, and humor, Zombieverse brings a bold new vision to the Korean unscripted landscape, enthralling viewers with its thrilling narrative and unparalleled scale.
