This Channel 4 press release from April says "Late 2008":
Quote:
E4 has commissioned writer Charlie Brooker to write its first horror series Dead Set (working title). The six- part thriller (6 x 30 mins) will be produced by Zeppotron (an Endemol Company) and will be both E4’s and Zeppotron’s first departure into the horror genre.
This major new commission for E4 is to broadcast on the digital channel in late 2008. The series has been commissioned by Head of E4 Angela Jain and Commissioning Editor, Shane Allen. The Executive Producers of Dead Set are Charlie Brooker and Zeppotron Managing Director Annabel Jones. The producer is Chrissy Skinns and the Director is Yann Demange, whose recent credits include Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Further details about cast will be announced nearer to transmission.
Charlie Brooker is well known for his weekly columns in The Guardian and his BBC Four series Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe. Charlie co-wrote the C4 comedy series Nathan Barley with Chris Morris and was the creator of the hugely successful website TV Go Home.
Angela Jain, Head of E4, said: “It's enormously exciting that Charlie Brooker has penned this thriller for E4. He is an exceptional writer and this promises to be something special and unusual for E4.”
Charlie Brooker said: “Dead Set is very different to anything I’ve done before, and I hope the end result will surprise, entertain and appal people in equal measure.”
