I was very excited upon seeing this. My guess is that makes me one of the biggest nerds in the world.
28 Weeks Later: Special Featurette - Six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles, the US Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin.

CBS picks up ‘Babylon’
CBS: Pickup — “Babylon Fields,” an hourlong zombie-themed hour described by CBS as a “sardonic, apocalyptic American comedy-drama where the dead are rising and as a result, lives are regained, families restored and old wounds reopened.” Gerald Cuesta and Michael Atkinson wrote the pilot and will serve as supervising producers. Michael Cuesta, who directed the pilot for “Dexter,” will exec produce and helm via 20th Century Fox Television.

Ooh! This sounds like fun. It’s been described as Desperate Housewives with zombies. While reading I realized it may be based on the French film, They Came Back or Les Revenants which wasn’t terrible movie, although not the usual gory zombie fare.
The series is scheduled to premiere on CBS on June 1st, 2007.
Speaking of movies I’m excited about. I’m very much looking forward to 28 Weeks Later the sequel to the successful 28 Days Later. The movie is slated for release on May 11, 2007.
Synopsis: Six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles, the US Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin. Under the strict supervision of the U.S. Military, the first wave of refugees is allowed back into the city. Among them are Don (Robert Carlyle), his new girlfriend Scarlett (Rose Byrne), and Don’s two children. Don lost his wife during the original infection, while Scarlett lost her entire family. All seems under control until a new carrier of the virus makes his way within the quarantined area. As the only known live specimen, he becomes a vital tool to the scientists who hope to learn from their discovery. Call it carelessness or call it bad luck, but the virus eventually spreads once again and now may be even more difficult to contain than the first time around. Jeremy Renner plays Sgt. Doyle who is part of the American Special Forces team working on restoring order in London. Harold Perrineau will co-star as Flynn, an upbeat Special Forces pilot who leads the families returning to London to their safety, while documenting the ordeal with his camera. Elba plays General Stone is the guy overseeing district 1 in London.
Sounds cool. I’m sure it won’t measure up to Danny Boyle’s 28 Days. Sequels rarely do. I will see it though. If the leaked media is any indication it will be a decent zombie film.
Here are some pictures to make you drool:

Probably the coolest thing of all is this raw video footage found at worstpreviews.com:
If a zombie falls on the mall escalator and no one is around to hear it does he still go "Rarrrrr"?
