Maria Among All the Dead is an original concept by Marlon Quintero that boldly combines two seemingly incompatible genres: telenovela and zombie thriller. This groundbreaking project marks the first-ever zombie-telenovela, offering a fresh and innovative approach to both genres.
María Entre todos los Muertos is a love story set against the backdrop of an apocalyptic scenario. A mysterious plague, resulting from an ancient curse, transforms people into cannibalistic creatures, wreaking havoc in a small town.
Amidst the chaos, our protagonist Maria awakens from a dream only to find herself in a living nightmare. As she searches desperately for her missing family in a world overrun by the undead, Maria must navigate a new reality where survival is a daily struggle, and even the possibility of love is fleeting.
Terror and suspense drive this unique narrative, as Maria becomes the sole survivor in a town of the dead. The production masterfully blends the suspense and horror of the zombie genre with the dramatic complexity and emotional depth of a telenovela, using a love story as the central thread.
Set in a small city in Latin America, specifically Ecuador, the story’s proximity to a major metropolis heightens the suspense, adding a layer of tension with the looming threat of the plague spreading to larger populations.
