Shudder is gearing up for the premier of it’s brand new series, ‘The Dead Lands’, and they have dropped a brand new trailer to build the hype.
The series will premier with two episodes on January 23rd on Shudder and also TVNZ OnDemand in New Zealand.
According to Shudder: “The eerie world of “The Dead Lands” as well as the characters brought to life (or death) within it are inspired by Māori traditions and histories. The series is set in a mythical Aoteoroa (the Māori name for New Zealand), taking full advantage of the natural beauty of its landscapes. The series features screen combat performed in the Māori martial art of Mau Rākau, while elements of action and fantasy throughout the story have been given shape by versions of Māori rituals reimagined for the show. In order to honor the Māori people and their culture, the creation of the series required authoritative Māori control and advice to be present in all areas, both in front of and behind the camera.”
