Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best order to watch Life of the Dead?

Release order. Start with Life of the Dead and go down the list. This is how the creators intended the story to unfold — later entries build on what came before, and watching out of order can spoil key reveals.

How long does it take to watch all of Life of the Dead?

About 4 hours total across 9 episodes and 3 entries. At 3-4 episodes per day, that's roughly 3 days.

Can I skip the movies and OVAs?

Release order or chronological order?

Go with release order for your first time through. Chronological can be tempting, but shows are written with release order in mind — reveals hit harder and character arcs make more sense. Save chronological for a rewatch if you want a different perspective.
