Pandemic Live-Action TV Shows
by Skavau | created - 03 Sep 2021 | updated - 27 Jul 2022 | PublicPandemic films are movies focused on a lethal usually airborne and infectious disease that infects most of the planet. This disease can come in the form of a deadly supervirus, a malignant plague, and sometimes a Zombie outbreak (depending on how its spread).
Zombie infections in many forms of fictions themselves often spread via bite and thus in the context of a 'Pandemic' show, they would not be on this list.
