Ted asked how you want your series correlated.  Another question is how 
you want it "binomial":  do you want each value to be binomial with 
parameters conditional on previous values, or do you want each to be 
marginally binomial with some fixed parameters?

I can only think of two trivial solutions that meet both conditions 
simultaneously:  the i.i.d. sequence, and a sequence that repeats 0 
indefinitely.  I'd be interested in hearing if anyone knows of any 
non-trivial examples of sequences where the distributions are both 
conditionally and marginally binomial, or a proof that there are none.
