Indonesian Zombie Series ‘Zona Merah’ Getting Adapted for Film
Screenplay Films has greenlit a feature film adaptation of Zona Merah, the Indonesian zombie series that drew strong audience response on its debut, reports Variety.
The feature expands the world into darker, more unforgiving territory, with more intricate conflicts and deeper character work. Survival against the undead threat becomes a more desperate and relentless proposition than the series allowed.
Several cast members from the original series will reprise their roles, including Aghniny Haque, Andri Mashadi, Maria Theodore, Devano and Lukman Sardi. They will be joined by a slate of new additions – Luna Maya, Bryan Domani, Shindy Huang, Myesha Lin and Derby Romero – who play fresh characters entering the story’s zombie-survival universe.
Sidharta Tata and Fajar Martha Santosa will co-direct the film, with Tata also returning as screenwriter.
Production is set to run from April to May 2026, with the shoot kicking off April 7.
