The premise

Zombies are rampaging throughout Britain. Blissfully unaware of gory events outside, the Big Brother housemates are in for the ultimate eviction night...

Horror Vault's take

When a zombie apocalypse tears through Britain, the last people to notice are the contestants locked inside the Big Brother house — cut off from the outside world and blissfully glued to the game. Charlie Brooker's razor-sharp miniseries uses the reality TV format as a skewering lens on modern media obsession, all while delivering genuinely vicious zombie horror. The housemates must confront threats far worse than eviction, and the show wastes no time making clear that no one is truly safe.

Content: Graphic Violence, Gore, Strong Language
