The effects of Rebel Moon and its poor reception from audiences have made Netflix second-guess the future of Zack Snyder’s franchises.
The Wrap reports that the streamer will no longer pursue any more Army of the Dead movies, even though an animated series and a sequel were planned. Snyder had previously helmed Army of the Dead for Netflix in 2021, and the film had a slightly unrelated spinoff prequel with Army of Thieves.
According to the report, we won’t be seeing the animated spinoff Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas and the movie spinoff Planet of the Dead. The filmmaker must’ve known it was a daunting task for anyone, as he already admitted, “We are very ambitious with everything.”
The zombie action film was a success for Synder and the streamer; it scored the rare Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes for the filmmaker and, in its first 28 days on Netflix, was watched in 75 million households, totalling a viewership of 186.54 million hours.

Now, if fans want more of the Army of the Dead franchise, they’ll have to turn to Six Flags theme parks this Halloween, as a themed experience is planned.
Army of the Dead and the Rebel Moon director’s cuts are both now streaming on Netflix.
