'The Walking Dead' spin-off series coming to AMC.

From wired.
2015 continues to be a big year for genre fans. Not only will it bring a new Star Wars movie, a secondAvengers film and the much-discussed debut of Ben Affleck as Batman in the still-unnamed sequel toMan of Steel, but this morning AMC announced that it’ll also be the year when The Walking Dead spins off a brand-new television series set in the same post-apocalyptic world.

The cable channel revealed today that it is in “the initial stages of developing a companion series” to its hyper-successful adaptation of the long-running Image Comics series co-created and written by Robert Kirkman about a group of human survivors in a world filled with the undead. Kirkman is part of the group developing the spinoff, acting as executive producer on the project alongside Walking Dead execs Gail Anne Hurd and David Alpert.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Deaduniverse,” said Kirkman in a statement included the network’s announcement, adding that “the opportunity to make a show that isn’t tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing.” AMC president Charlie Collier promised that the show would feature “an entirely new story and cast of characters,” while offering “another unforgettable view of the zombie apocalypse.”
Very interesting I am looking forward to this and the return of walking dead next month.
