Sundance Horror ‘Didn’t Die’ Shambles Into Theaters This March [Trailer]

As the zombie apocalypse unfolds, a podcast host struggles to maintain their dwindling audience amid the chaos in director Meera Menon‘s (The Walking Dead) zom-com Didn’t Die, shambling into limited theaters March 6, 2026, thanks to Level 33 Entertainment.

In the film, a podcast host, Vinita (Kiran Deol), struggles to maintain her dwindling audience amid the zombie apocalypse, but when her ex shows up with an orphaned baby, her priorities shift to battle the ever-mutating zombie threat.

“I’m drawn to the question of what still makes life worth living when everything else has come undone. Being an indie filmmaker right now feels like podcasting in the middle of a zombie apocalypse-this film is about the grit it takes to simply keep going,” said Menon, who also directed episodes of Fear the Walking Dead and Ms. Marvel.

Heralded by Variety as an “enticing character-centric comedy” and by Collider as a film that “forges its own bloody path by taking the story back to the barest of bones,” Didn’t Die premiered in 2025 at the Sundance Film Festival as a Midnight feature, merely weeks after director Menon’s home was tragically consumed by the fires that ravaged Los Angeles.

The cast is rounded out by George Basil (Werewolves Within), Samrat Chakrabarti (The Sinner), Katie McCuen, Vishal Vijayakumar, Ali Lopez-Sohaili and Kandis Erickson.
