"It will focus on a completely new cast in a new location.... AMC announced its intention to create a companion show to The Walking Dead, the network has confirmed that the series is officially happening...The still-untitled series was previously rumored to be a prequel that would focus on the events that led up to the main series' apocalyptic storyline. But neither the network nor the producers have hinted at what the show will be about other than the fact that it won't technically be a "spinoff" since it won't feature characters from The Walking Dead TV series.

I can see this, maybe a 30 minute weekly show based on other characters from the books. I'm not much for prequels but there's a lot of material to draw from.

What do you think?

Could work. Although I really don’t want to know what caused the outbreak. I’m fine with an unknown disease/infection.

[SampleMan]

Hopefully a new cast of smart people, who can effectively deal with mindless threats that move at the speed of a one legged dwarf

No kidding. Love the show and am addicted. But for crying out loud. Use a quarry or large pit and draw the walkers in for miles around with a fire siren. And when are we going to run into someone who is immune?

It will be to The Walking Dead what Petticoat Junction was to the The Beverly Hillbillies

[SampleMan]

Not to mention that the use of spears an alien concept to them. They have unlimited resources for the taking, and they live like bums.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So we’re going to have 400 spinoffs like Law and Order and NCIS did?

[virgil283]

"So we’re going to have 400 spinoffs"...... I hope not. You know there was one good show about a pawn shop and now there has been a dozen of worthless clones trying to imitate it.

I would like to see a TWD variant in the off season ....

[Argus]

Yeah, watch for the Left Coast edition:

WALKING DEAD: LOS ANGELES.

[Yorlik803]

Would be cool to see the back story about that crazy CDC doctor.

Awesome! Does that mean we’ll get more cute and wholesome zombie chicks?

[ConjunctionJunction]

Somehow I missed this article on Sunday. Sorry virgil283!

Walking Dead ping!

Please let me know if you'd like on or off The Walking Dead ping list.

[KoRn]

Would be VERY nice if they could show it during the months the original series isn’t on.

Maybe the first episode will be NEXT WEEK! .....(dammit)

Here ya go.
(PLEASE feed her a hamburger or something)

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit that zombie.

[VRW Conspirator]

There is a joke in there somewhere. Norman Bates eat your heart out.

Preach, brother....

[CatherineofAragon]

Ann Coulter?

[Hot Tabasco]

And when are we going to run into someone who is immune?

And how do you propose to determine who is immune? Shoot them in the chest and if they don't turn, consider that a victory?......LOL!

And if you DO find someone is immune, so what? What do you do with that information?

I suspect the introduction of Eugene the Scientist will lead the series down that trail if need be........
