On tonight’s episode of In the Flesh, MP Maxine institutes an undead travel ban, as well as stringent measures for PDS sufferers to pay back their debt to society. It’s a move that will do wonders for her in the poll numbers, buying the confidence of the pro-living citizens of her jurisdiction, and a move that will keep Kieren in Roarton for the foreseeable future. The best case scenario seems to be a mass culling of PDS sufferers that causes things in town to quieten down, thus allowing Kieren the opportunity to leave unimpeded; however, the most likely scenario is that tensions in Roarton eventually bubble over due to the new restrictions (as well as Maxine’s own distaste for the undead) and the ULA successfully launches a second rising, thus putting Kieren and everyone he loves in danger.

Elsewhere on In the Flesh, Jem is the target of a prank gone awry at school, while Kieren attends an undead rave where everyone has consumed brains.

In the Flesh airs tonight at 10:00 on BBC America.

Do you think Kieren will ever get out of Roarton? How will the prank impact Jem’s already fragile mental state? Will Maxine’s move against the undead provoke the ULA to strike back?

In the Flesh tells the story of PDS (Partially Dead Syndrome) sufferer Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry), who dreams of leaving his suffocating hometown of Roarton and living the life that he dreams of in Paris. However, conditions in town are preventing him from leaving, as the ULA (Undead Liberation Army) have begun attacking the living again, thereby putting a target on their backs and giving pro-living radicals Victus the excuse to retaliate with brutal force. Tensions between the two sects force MP Maxine Martin (Wunmi Mosaku) to enact measures to oppress the PDS sufferers, all the while Victus continues spreading anti-zombie rhetoric and the ULA continues carrying out terroristic acts. Could a war be brewing in the tiny town of Roarton and could Kieren find himself in the middle of such a huge turning point in world history?

In addition to Newberry and Mosaku, In the Flesh stars Emily Bevan (The Thick of It), Harriet Cains (Doctors), Kevin Sutton (Shameless), Steve Cooper (Emmerdale), and Emmett Scanlan (HollyOaks).

You can check out a preview of season two of In the Flesh below.
