We have some bad news to report, horror fans. It looks like we won't be seeing any more new installments in the Army of the Dead franchise like we had been initially promised. All of the Army of the Dead future films and the animated series have been reportedly quietly canceled. More on this below.

Back in September 2020, months before Army of the Dead had even come out, Netflix had announced that it would be working with Zack Snyder again to make a prequel movie and an animated prequel series. Then, in July 2021, the streaming giant greenlit a direct sequel to Army of the Dead, a film that Snyder was said to start working on after making Rebel Moon.

While the prequel movie Army of Thieves did get made and come out in 2021, the animated series and the live-action sequel haven't. The animated series was officially titled Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, while the sequel was given the name of Planet of the Dead.

According to TheWrap, the plug has been pulled on any future plans for subsequent films in the franchise as well as the animated series. Also, ahead of the release of the Rebel Moon director’s cuts on Netflix, Snyder spoke with TheWrap and seemed to hint that the animated series and sequel had been canceled. However, he also mentioned that the Army of the Dead universe isn't "entirely dead," stating that it will be getting its own haunted house maze at Six Flags Fright Fest this year.

Netflix nor Snyder has come out and made an official statement about Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas and Planet of the Dead being shelved. However, their cancellations wouldn't be surprising, seeing as though we haven't heard any new information about either one in a long time. In addition, there has been a recent streak of Netflix canceling many of its upcoming animated projects.
