. Farr, who initially conceived ''Xombie'' in 1994 as an idea for a feature film, began releasing self-created animations in chapters for online audiences in 2003. In 2005, Wetsand Animation was reportedly creating an animated film based on Farr's flash cartoons. Instead, in 2009, a DVD was released under the title ''Xombie: Dead on Arrival'', weaving the series' episodes together into a feature-length movie, while also compiling the episodes separately.
In 2007,
Devil's Due Publishing released a six issue comic book sequel to ''Dead on Arrival'' titled ''Xombie: Reanimated''.
A third part of the Xombie trilogy, titled ''Death Warmed Over'', was planned, but cancelled.
In 2009,
DreamWorks Studios planned to produce a film with
Alex Kurtzman and
Roberto Orci as producers.
In March 2017, Farr began a new series on
YouTube titled ''Xombie: Dead Ahead'', which is meant to be a continuation of the series, proclaimed as "the next chapter".
Characters

Zoe is voiced by Michelle Fairney in ''Xombie: Dead on Arrival'', but she is voiced by Sarah Beth Pfeifer in ''Dead Ahead''.

mummy-like variant named Nephtys (voiced by Allison Rupert) and a raptor named Chimera.
Various humans include Governor Marrow (voiced by Robin Siegerman), Lt. Barrack (voiced by Sean Christopher Shaw), and Zoe's mother, whose fate is unknown.
