The second show is documentary-style comedy-drama Death Valley, about a team of cops working for the “Undead Task Force”; a unit that fight vampires, werewolves and zombies in the San Fernando Valley. The cast includes Caity Lotz (Mad Men, pictured above-left) and Tania Raymonde (Lost, pictured above-right). Executive-producers are Austin Reading, Julie Kellman Reading, Eric Weinberg and Tim Healy.

David Janollari, MTV’s Executive Vice-President of Scripted Development:

To offer choices with drama, comedy, animation and, of course, reality.”
