help Dead Set FAQ

Is Dead Set actually filmed inside the Big Brother house?

Dead Set uses the British Big Brother production compound as the center of its zombie outbreak, with contestants initially protected by their isolation from the outside world. The connection is explicit enough that presenter Davina McCall appears as a fictionalized version of herself.

Who created Dead Set, and does it feel like Black Mirror?

Dead Set was written by Charlie Brooker several years before Black Mirror premiered in 2011. Its mix of brutal horror and television satire anticipates Brooker's later interest in entertainment, technology, and public cruelty.

How many episodes of Dead Set are there?

Dead Set is a five-part miniseries that premiered on E4 in October 2008. The opening installment is longer than the four following episodes, so some releases also present the story in a feature-length format. [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Set)

Does Dead Set tell a complete story or end on a cancellation cliffhanger?

The miniseries tells a complete, deliberately bleak story rather than setting up a second season. Its main survivor is production runner Kelly, played by Jaime Winstone, while the trapped housemates gradually learn what has happened beyond the studio.
