In this paper we consider the zeros of the chromatic polynomial of series-parallel graphs. Complementing a result of Sokal, showing density outside the disk $\{z\in\mathbb{C} \mid |z-1| \leq 1\}$, we show density of these zeros in the half plane $\Re(q)>3/2$ and we show there exists an open region $U$ containing the interval $(0,32/27)$ such that $U\setminus\{1\}$ does not contain zeros of the chromatic polynomial of series-parallel graphs. We also disprove a conjecture of Sokal by showing that for each large enough integer $\Delta$ there exists a series-parallel graph for which all vertices but one have degree at most $\Delta$ and whose chromatic polynomial has a zero with real part exceeding $\Delta$.
