This might seem as counter intuitive, as there are folks that hijack ideas for a living, But hey, F*IT; lets hear your craziest plots you can concoct. We’ll be the judge of them.
I’m down for a good laugh.

For that to work, the zombies would need to talk more than just grunting. Subtitles would get annoying very quickly. Maybe the documentary crew could have some Google Translate thingy to accommodate this? Maybe less talking and more showing could be what makes this a hit?
The zombies are fully capable of talking and act just like the living do. The only difference is that they still need to eat brains and they are technically dead. We even considered making the zombies act high class and snobby even. Pinky out while eating brains etc., while they look down on the uncultured swine of the living.
It’s funny you mentioned this because in our opening episode, we had the zombies start by mumbling and shuffling around. Then they had their living neighbor come in frame and ask them what the film crew was doing. They cut the act and say something like, “Damn it Kyle, we were doing our zombie shtick”.
Would the film crew be zombies as well, or do they have specific no-eat clauses in the contract? What would them being technically dead entail? Decaying limbs? Some extra strength?
Film crew were humans, no eat clause, but tempted on occasion. They were dead as dead can be, rotting bodies and all. We hadn’t really talked about how they would deal with their rotting flesh, but I’d say there would be routine flesh and limb replacement. Maybe some kind of “exotic” living person fluid that can keep their skin from completely disintegrating.
Or they give an in universe explaination like: if the corpos knew we can talk and reason they would abduct us into labor camps
The grunting is just media propaganda so the general public see the zombies as feral.
