NETFLIX fans are furious as Army of the Dead's sequel movies and TV shows have been quietly axed.
The original film - directed and co-written by Zack Snyder - made its debut on the streaming platform in May 2021.
Its unique premise followed a group of mercenaries planning a Las Vegas casino heist during a zombie apocalypse.
However, hope for more Army of the Dead sequels or TV shows has been dashed.
Zack and wife Deborah, who is also his producing partner, told The Wrap that a planned animated series and sequel films had been quietly cancelled.
On X, one user wrote: "Netflix has cancelled the animated series & planned sequel to Army of the Dead (Planet of the Dead). Zack says he's now working on a 'smaller' film."

Another added: "This is really sad to me. I loved Army of the Dead and Army of Thieves and wanted more."
Originally, there had been expansive plans for several follow-ups and spin-offs.
One of which, a prequel titled Army of Thieves, was released in 2021.
The filmmaker said: “We are very ambitious with everything.”

A central cast including Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Cary Elwes, and Anthony Hopkins appear in both films.
