Live from the set

The backstage lives on social media too

Making-of, puppet tests, sets under construction: follow how Zoé is made, frame by frame.

The concept

A content creator who keeps falling apart

Zoé, 15, dreams of becoming a content creator. She knows the codes, the trends and how to stage herself. But Zoé is a zombie, and her body stubbornly refuses to follow the script.

Each episode plays on the gap between the perfect image she wants to project and a reality that keeps going sideways: a universal comic engine that speaks directly to a generation growing up phone in hand.

The tone is funny, tender and never gory. The zombie twist serves the comedy and the big themes of adolescence (self-confidence, how others see you, the need to belong), not horror.

The audience

13–16 year-olds… and the whole family

Zoé speaks teens' language without ever talking down to them. Her visual humour and everyday situations also work for family viewing: everyone recognizes their own awkward moments.

  • A heroine the same age as her audience
  • Visual humour that works for everyone
  • Teen themes handled with care

IP strategy

Zoé is more than a series

Zoé Zombie is designed as a full intellectual property: a character who lives on screen, on social media and beyond.

  • The series

    The heart of the world: short stop-motion episodes designed for digital.

  • Zoé, content creator

    Zoé posts in her own name on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The character lives between episodes and talks with her community.

  • The backstage

    The making-of is content in its own right: handmade craft fascinates and builds a strong bond with the audience.

  • Collaborations

    A character recognizable at first glance, well suited to brand partnerships that fit her world.

  • Spin-offs

    Merchandise, publishing, new formats: development paths to build with the right partners.
