By analyzing 21st-century zombie narratives that have been among the most financially successful (e.g., Zombieland AMC’s The Walking Dead) or innovative (28 Days Later Shaun of the Dead), this study maps neoliberal ideological representations of heteronormative family relations as a key feature of popular contemporary zombie media. Although many scholars argue that zombie narratives position the apocalypse as a new way to imagine social relations, recent cinematic and televisual examples of the genre feature the resiliency of the heteronormative nuclear family as the central formation from which a new social world is to spring.
