Fight of the Living Dead
Fight of the Living Dead is an American reality-styled streaming television series in which YouTubers participate in a simulated zombie apocalypse and attempt to survive for 72 hours. The series premiered on April 5, 2015, on YouTube, with later seasons airing on YouTube Premium.
The first installment, Fight of the Living Dead: Live-Action Video Game, was a six-episode pre-season totaling under one hour combined. It was produced before the show's partnership with YouTube Premium and starred Jesse Wellens, Meghan Camarena, Iman Crosson, Joey Graceffa, Justine Ezarik, Jeana Smith, Jarrett Sleeper, Sam Pepper, and Olga Kay.
Premise
The series follows well-known YouTubers who are placed in an experiment conducted by a fictional organization called CONOP. The organization has developed a biological weapon that reanimates the dead, transforming them into zombies. Contestants are placed in areas where zombies are known to be present and must work together to complete missions and survive a 72-hour period. Each episode chronicles the events that transpire during this timeframe. Throughout their stay, contestants encounter various characters with unknown purposes and intentions.
Missions
In each episode, CONOP instructs one or more subjects via a communications room or through radio while outside the safe house to complete missions. These tasks may lead to encounters with zombies and potential elimination. Subjects either decide as a group who will undertake missions or are nominated directly by CONOP. A mission is deemed complete when the primary objective is fulfilled.
