While it seemed like a joke, that didn't stop fans from wishing it would get made, although sadly, no movement on the project ever happened. The prospect of a Shaun of the Dead sequel, possibly titled From Dusk Till Shaun, was first brought up on the film's DVD commentary track.
Shaun of the Dead 2: Why The Vampire Sequel Never Happened This sequel would've featured vampires instead of zombies, but sadly, it looks unlikely to ever become a reality.
However, while the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy doesn't directly connect on a narrative level, it turns out there was at one point a consideration of making a Shaun of the Dead 2.

Those films, a send-up of buddy cop movies and sci-fi disaster flicks, respectively, also proved highly successful with both critics and audiences.
The trio of Pegg, Frost, and Wright would of course reunite again for the two other installments in their thematically similar Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy, 2007's Hot Fuzz and 2013's The World's End. Billing itself as a rom-zom-com, Shaun of the Dead functioned both as a hilarious tribute to the classics of zombie cinema, and a terrific, genuinely emotional zombie story in its own right. A critical and commercial smash, Shaun of the Dead made multiple careers, most notably its stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and its director Wright. Edgar Wright's 2004 zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead almost got a vampire sequel called From Dusk Till Shaun, but here's why it never happened.
