==Development and production==
After it was announced that Ghosted was getting a spin-off in 2021, with Josiah Stuart once again writing the mini-novel, fans were skeptical as to how the spin-off would deal with the zombie apocalypse. However, in early 2022, Stuart revealed that the new stories would not be a spin-off of Ghosted, but rather a new series itself. Josiah began writing the first book in the summer of 2022, with the announcement that Athena Purcell would help develop the new book series into a television show. The show was greenlit in late-August 2022 for a full first season.
==Casting==
In the days following the premiere of season 2, all cast members from the second season renewed their contracts for seasons 3 and 4.
