==Development and production==
fter 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 March 2023 during the airing of season 1, all cast members from the first season renewed their contracts for season 2. Upon the premiere of season 2, it was announced that LaTonya Polen would be moved from the recurring cast to the main cast.
