I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this yet, I had no idea they were thinking about doing a spin-off, so this is all new to me... I love the walking dead, and I will probably watch this spin-off, but I don't know if it's a totally a good idea... mainly because I'm afraid it might be a nail in the coffin for TWD after a while because they might put all of their efforts into the spin-off and less in the walking dead, and then after a while they might can it to work on the spin-off head on. It's just my honest opinion, and I hope it doesn't happen.

But I will check out the spin-off and hopefully it will be another show I'll love.

AMC has announced that it is developing a companion series for The Walking Dead that is targeted to make it on air in 2015. Current Walking Dead executive producers Robert Kirkman (who also creatred the comic book on which the show is based), Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert will also work on the new series.


“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,” said Kirkman in an announcement by AMC, who will also produce the series.. “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.”

Charlie Collier, AMC’s president and general manager, added: “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.”

No word yet on if the series will feature any characters and events from the comic book or introduce completely new story lines, as Kirkman’s quote seems to suggest. The Walking Dead returns with season 4 on October 13.

OOH,, exciting!! I think its a great idea! They've shown with the telltale games how interesting it can be to look at different points of view during a zombie apocalypse, and it would certainly be interesting to see how a different part of the country/world reacted. Very cool!!
