Living Dead (franchise)

Living Dead is a blanket term used for the various television shows and other releases based around 2005's Prometheus.

Prometheus
Set in the late Second World War, Prometheus follows the story of Soviet spy Vladimir Chezkirov as he traces a Nazi scientist named solely 'Dreher'. XXX

Following Chezkirov's report, the Soviet officials then refer his finds to their own science facility, where Dreher's reanimation research is adapted into an airborne virus that can be used against the United States of America, should it come to direct war. Having seen the true monstrosities of the zombie virus, Chezkirov then unsuccessfully works to sabotage the research. The scientists make a breakthrough, so Chezkirov decides to settle things once and for all with a suicide attack on the research facility. The attack is successful, and all of those with knowledge of the virus' composition, including Chezkirov himself, are killed, and the lab and all of its notes and content are destroyed.

However, in a post-credits scene, it is revealed that one of the scientists had stashed a supply of the liquid-suspended virus in an underground bunker in Krasnodar.
