THE WALKING DEAD-spin-off-serie kommer i 2015

Den amerikanske TV-kanal AMC kan bare ikke få nok af THE WALKING DEAD. Fjerde sæson af den populære zombie-serie rammer skærmen den 13. oktober, men det er slet ikke nok for AMC. De skriver nu i en pressemeddelelse, at de er gået i gang med at udvikle en ny serie, der skal foregå i det samme univers - altså en spin-off-serie. Manden bag tegneserien, Robert Kirkman, er selvfølgelig med på vognen sammen med producenterne Gale Anne Hurd og Dave Alpert.

"Building on the success of the most popular show on television for adults 18-49 is literally a no-brainer. We look forward to working with Robert, Gale and Dave again as we develop an entirely new story and cast of characters. It’s a big world and we can’t wait to give fans another unforgettable view of the zombie apocalypse", siger AMC-direktør Charlie Collier i pressemeddelelsen.

“After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn't be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of THE WALKING DEAD universe. 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,” lyder det fra Robert Kirkman.
