Zombieland Cancelled

The Zombieland has been cancelled after one episode. Amazon released the pilot episode a couple weeks ago and asked for peoples feedback which would determine the outcome of the show. The show was overwhelmed with such mixed comments and mixed to negative reviews of the pilot that Amazon has decided not to go on with the series. 
Co-writer and executive producer Rhett Reese took to Twitter to express his views on the recently cancelled series.

"Our Zombieland series will not be moving forward on Amazon. Sad for everyone involved. I'll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence. Anyway, we did our best, and we're very proud of our team."-Rhett Reese
