Since Zombie Land Saga isn't based on a source material, the producers and staff may or not decide to generate multiple, split cours for this show. Nonetheless, that direction also poses risks as with each passing season the contents for this show could become stagnant and the jokes redundant, moreover, that the show itself could completely transition into an all-out idol group anime.

However, from what I read and researched in the other forums the point of Zombie Land Saga is to parody both the Idol J-Pop groups and the zombie genera while playing with tropes of other stuff for comedy effects.

That means the current show cannot steer too much in either direction because the whole premise that this anime is trying to sell is zombie, undead girls becoming the hit of the nation as an idol group.

The following extremes would suck if the producers opt for any of those routes:
1. Kōtarō promising to resurrect the girls as fully, alive humans as long as they succeed at becoming Saga's best idol group in history, and, eventually, he commits to his promise.

2. Or the girls eventually reverting back to being mindless zombies.

To be honest, I do not wish for Tae awakening her consciousness becoming a smart zombie. The charm of her character at being a mindless zombie is to be the vessel for most comedy relief. IMO that would kill her character off, since she's also a reminder for the girls that they're now zombies and all of them already dead to boot.
