In the Flesh is a BBC Three supernatural drama series starring Luke Newberry. Written and created by Dominic Mitchell,[1] the show began airing on BBC Three on 17 March 2013 with the first series consisting of three one-hour-long episodes. Set after "The Rising", which is the show's take on a zombie apocalypse, the drama focuses on reanimated young man, Kieren Walker, and his return to his local community.

An extended second series of the show, consisting of six one-hour-long episodes, began airing in the United Kingdom on BBC Three on 4 May 2014[2] and in the United States on 10 May 2014 on BBC America.[3][4][5]

In January 2015, BBC Three announced that In The Flesh would not be renewed for a third series due to cuts to its budget for its final year as a linear channel.[6]
