interesting, i wonder if it'll be closely linked with survivors from the walking dead or set in another state entirely?

salacious crumb

I'd hope they wouldn't link it to the current series at all and just go for a completely original cast of characters, keeping well away from the locations etc. they've already used/established.

degrassinoel

just thinkin' could be the warden and his two goons gone off to set up a new community.

I'd watch that tbh

I'd hazard a guess they're keeping those guys for a "recurring villains" type thing on WD. Still, I would enjoy a series with The Warden too :pac:

Hope they don't link it to the psn game.

Yes yes yes


Great news.

Or maybe they are making the webisodes into a proper series.

degrassinoel

very possible, considering this

AMC also recently announced that it is developing a companion series to The Walking Dead, based on a new story and new characters from Robert Kirkman.

I'd like to see more bits of how it all began, more than the brief flashbacks

salacious crumb

Nah, not even relevant at this stage :pac:

I'd like to see a completely new story. I would like to see how it all kicked off through the eyes of some ordinary Joe.

I hope they do this well.

They might be able to pull it off too. I think the reason most zombie flicks have avoided showing the actual breakout is due to budgetary reasons of having such a large set piece. Then it just became the done thing in hollywood films to copy the survivors storyline.

Not sure if spoilers are needed, but will chuck them in just in case.

If it is a new story and new characters from Kirkman, then maybe that discounts adaptations of comic characters, but what came to mind was either

the Hilltop colony or the smaller Alexandria safe zone

from the comics.


Could see how one or both of those were established, and that of course would bring in, either by seeing or just through mentioning,

Negan

as the next big bad. Then the season end episodes of both the original walking dead series and the spin off series could be the original group being met by

Aaron from the Hilltop safe zone

.

The Walking dead episode ending on the originals seeing a guy coming towards them saying he was

Aaron

, and the spin off series ending on

Aaron's

pov as he approached a group that were unfamilar to him.

maximoose

That would be BRILLIANT.

Kess73

Oh course if/when

Negan

or a character inspired by him comes into TWD main series, it will surely see a storyline that sees some established characters killed off.


Could well see

"Lucile"

being very thirsty.


Although I do suspect that in the tv show a variation

of the herd attack that was launched against Negan in the comics

will be used by the Governor.

The Walking dead Miami, the walking dead Las vegas.......TWD NY.......

It's funny that when ye think of the success of CSI, now being compared with TWD, speaks volumes about the show
