Kate Siegel and David Dastmalchian Will Face an Especially Horrifying Zombie in Epilogue

Just when you think zombies are over...

Two superstars of horror, Kate Siegel (Midnight Mass) and David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), are set to star in Epilogue, a movie which makes the threat of zombification deeply personal. According to Deadline, the pair play parents trying to save their infected daughter.

Epilogue, as the title suggests, is set a year after the zombie outbreak—though clearly the horrors are far from over. The movie is written by Luke Barnett and Tanner Thomason, two actor-writers who co-wrote and starred in Faith Based, and wrote and directed the short “The Crossing Over Express.” Michael Fimognari, who worked with Siegel on The Fall of the House of Usher (pictured above), directs.

Siegel and Dastmalchian also co-star in The Life of Chuck, the upcoming Stephen King adaptation from Siegel’s partner, Mike Flanagan. She’s starred in many of his projects, including Usher and The Haunting of Hill House. Dastmalchian was quite memorable as the Polka-Dot Man in The Suicide Squad, though he had a long career before that movie came around; more recently, he appeared in three very different 2023 films, Oppenheimer, The Boogeyman, and The Voyage of the Demeter.

There’s no word yet on when Epilogue’s zombies will shamble onto screens. icon-paragraph-end
