The Island's Kirk Ward has taken the lead role of Tallahassee in Amazon's upcoming Zombieland TV series.

This episodic serialized show will continue the adventures of Tallahassee (Kirk Ward), Columbus (Tyler Ross), Wichita, and her younger sister Little Rock (Izabela Vidovic) as they fight for humanity in a world ravaged by the living dead. Our four survivors of the zombie apocalypse banded together in the film in a hilarious attempt to stay alive, and now we will see what happened after their exploits at the amusement park.

The film was directed by Ruben Fleischer and starred Woody Harrelson, who originated the role of Tallahassee, a survivalist who carries a soft spot for his long missing dog and has an affinity for Twinkies.

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who penned the movie, wrote the pilot and will be producing the series with Gavin Polone.

No production date has been set.
