--- Quote ---
> AMC is bringing more zombies to TV! The network announced
Monday that it is working with Robert Kirkman, creator of "The
Walking Dead" graphic novels, and the show's executive producers
Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert to do a companion series.
>
> Charlie Collier, AMC's president, called the decision "a
no-brainer" in a statement, and revealed that the show will
consist of an entirely new cast of characters and will be a new
story. "It's a big world and we can't wait to give fans another
unforgettable view of the zombie apocalypse," he said.
>
> The new show is expected to premiere in 2015.
>
> "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,"
Kirkman said in a statement. "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."
>
> "The Walking Dead," starring Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus,
premiered in 2010 and has since become the No. 1 TV show among
viewers in the 18-49 demographic.
>
> But long before the spin-off debuts, "The Walking Dead" will
return for its fourth season. At Comic-Con this summer, the
stars and producers teased that the show would "get insane very
quickly" this year. Kirkman has also revealed that there will be
a zombie baby of sorts, noting that the little one would be
"different from the baby who was seen in 'Dawn of the Dead'
remake."
>
> Season four kicks off Oct. 13 at 9 p.m. on AMC.

I wouldn't object to another series, but please do NOT start
spinning everyone off just so they can fill up as much time on
their TV roster. I fear that this is where its heading and too
much of a good thing means over-saturation and then the
inevitable backlash from fans and viewers.

Ya, I'm not feeling it.
Let the awesomeness of a great show just continue to wash over.
Greed rears it's ugly head. Walking Dead, Walking Dead New York,
Walking Dead LA, Walking Dead SVU.

Ordered to Pilot at AMC—More Zombies for All![/glow]

> The Walking Dead spinoff—sorry, "companion series"—is going to
pilot at AMC. The network announced Robert Kirkman, the
co-creator of the comic book series, and Dave Erickson will
co-create the companion series to The Walking Dead. The new show
will be set in a different location with a new cast of
characters.
>
> Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert are also on board as executive
producers. Erickson will serve as showrunner.
>
> "Almost from the beginning of The Walking Dead on AMC, fans
have been curious about what is going on in the zombie
apocalypse in other parts of the world. In fact, beyond requests
for zombie cameos, it's the question I get asked the most," AMC
President Charlie Collier said in a statement. "Obviously, we
all take our stewardship of the original franchise incredibly
seriously and we, along with Robert, Gale, David and now Dave,
are all proceeding with extreme care in order to ensure that we
are offering fans something truly compelling, engaging and
distinct. We're thrilled to be taking this next step with these
remarkable partners."

> MORE: See the exciting new Walking Dead trailer
>
> "There are many corners of The Walking Dead universe that
remain unseen in the shadows. Being given the opportunity to
shine a light into those corners and see what lurks out there is
an absolute thrill. I know the fans are anxious to hear what
Dave and I have been cooking up for this new universe of The
Walking Dead, and I'm happy to be one step closer to sharing it
with them," Kirkman said in a statement.
>
> The pilot is scheduled to go into production in late 2014. No
additional details about location and casting were provided.
>
> "I've been fortunate to have collaborated with both Robert and
AMC on past projects and I'm thrilled to join them again, along
with Gale and David, to build upon The Walking Dead's already
epic narrative," Erickson said.
>
> The Walking Dead returns to AMC on Sunday, Oct. 12 at 9 p.m.

I'm okay with 'Spin-offs' for TWD as long as it's just the one.
If it starts to become something like Law and Order or CSI where
there are a ton of spin-offs, it's going to dilute the main
series. But this is AMC we are talking about. They don't care.
They want to milk as much as possible while the show is still
hot. So, I expect more and more to the point of over saturation.
Don't be surprised if the spin-offs look cheap. This is the same
company that it STILL trying to nickle and dime it's biggest
money maker.

I'll be fine if the stories are completely different. I mean in
every way.

When I first heard of this I thought it was very doable. I hope
they do the right thing -California or Reno lol- no Governor
clone. More of a origin type thing I think would work very well.
