In February, Cinedigm announced a deal with Comic-Con organizer Wizard World to launch Con TV, a streaming channel devoted to geeks and pop culture fans — or more specifically, for those within the global “Comic-Con community.” Now the companies have revealed the slate of original series, films, and TV shows acquired for the channel, which will launch in early 2015.
On the originals front, Con TV’s first big exclusive series will be “Fight of the Living Dead,” which it acquired earlier this year. Produced by Alpine Labs and Revolver Picture Company, the faux-reality series follows a group of YouTube stars as they’re left at an abandoned jail and forced to fight-off a simulated zombie apocalypse. The series stars Justine Ezarik (iJustine), Olga Kay, Sam Pepper, Joey Graceffa, Meghan Camarena (Strawburry17), and Iman Crosson (Alphacat), among others.
