The Langdom Experiment

"*In a world gone mad, **embrace** the madness,*"
—The series' tagline from *Season 2* to present**[src]**

***The Langdom Experiment (TLE)*** is a horror-thriller and later post-apocalyptic drama series written by EDStudios. The first season, set in the titular town of Langdom, Missouri, explores the fates of four families as they attempt to survive a government experiment involving a virus that turns humans into ravenous monsters that attack any other humans on sight, and escape the containment zone set up around their town. In the subsequent seasons, the survivors of the experiment navigate the post-apocalyptic United States, avoiding the Turned, hostile survivors and government soldiers as the virus spreads across the world. *Season 1* was written in late 2019, and *Season 2* in late 2020. A third season is in development, with the first half released in May 2021.

From the second season onwards, *The Langdom Experiment* utilizes a dual storyline, presenting the stories of the survivors of the first season as they all go their own paths; this is described as "one story following survivors who have accepted and adapted to the new world, and another where the survivors have adapted but refuse to accept the new world".

*The Langdom Experiment* is the core of the *Langdomverse*, a franchise encompassing all stories set within the same continuity started by *The Langdom Experiment*. The *Langdomverse* encompasses *The Langdom Files* spin-off as well as at least four full-length companion series that are in development, currently titled "*Spiral*", "*April*", "*Zone*" and "*The Eldridge Tapes*".

## Plot

*A genetically-engineered bioweapon has been unleashed on the population, turning those infected into ravenous animalistic creatures that seek only to hunt those who survived. With the world locked in a worldwide pandemic, the survivors of the first release must gather new allies and adapt. Whether they will learn to accept their new world remains to be seen, as they contemplate just how brutal their actions must become.*
