New episodes of Woke Up Dead invade showcase.ca three times a week beginning February 1, 2010 through the end of March 2010.
Woke Up Dead stars Jon Heder as “Drex Greene,” a down-and-out college grad who finds himself undergoing a sudden and inexplicable transformation from everyday zero to zombie hero. With his newfound zombie powers and the help of his best friend, wannabe filmmaker Matt (Josh Gad) and med student Cassie (Krysten Ritter), Drex breathes new life into his dead-end job and lackluster love life. In his quest for answers, Drex discovers that being dead has its privileges.
