Introduced in What If…? S01E05 (“What If… Zombies?!”) this reality is set in an alternate universe that shares the same history as Earth-616 / Earth-199999 until the events of “Ant-Man & the Wasp”, when two weeks before “Avengers: Infinity War” (in 2018), Hank Pym / Ant-Man I rescues his wife Janet Van Dyne / Wasp I from the Quantum Realm, only to learn that she’s been infected with a quantum virus that presents as a form of zombieism – an infection that spreads across this reality as an alternate take on the events depicted in “Avengers: Infinity War” unfold.
The episode was a huge hit and later received a four episode nonlinear sequel, “Marvel Zombies”, which like “Avengers: Endgame”, moves the story from 2018 to 2023, filling in some of the gaps as it goes. This story was also a hit with viewers and 3 Halloween sequel specials have been ordered for 2027 (“The Winter Soldier”), 2028 (“The Fist of Khonshu”) & 2029 (“The Last Guardian”), though it’s too soon to know how these 2-part adventures will carry the story forward.
