AMC just gave us a new image to load as well.

Really? They don't even know how well it's going to do

I hate the fact the lead character has two kids, just like Rick. I would of liked to see a lead character who isn't held down by her children and who will obviously (being the leads kids) will not get killed.

The young actors in the main series really bring it down, they are not very good actors.

Shame we couldn't of seen a series focusing on older people who are trying to search for a purpose in the new, changing world. It could of been more brutal.

Could of set it out of the US aswell.

It is likely due to a 6 episode premiere. They likely went to sponsors and said look how well The Walking Dead is doing and even if we do half as well it is still a huge hit so they locked them in with 2 seasons and 19 episodes up front which would pretty much cover all the production costs. Even if it is crap which I doubt, carry over alone from the other show would be huge. If they were smart, they would consider airing this at times when the other is on hiatus so they always have a fresh round. But I think part of the appeal is making people wait.

I agree with that except for the very first line.

The Walking Dead is one of the most watched TV shows right now. There is absolutely no doubt this won't be a smash.

First I've heard of this. What is the spin off about? Is it just more of the same but with people in another country or something?

It's set in los Angeles. It takes place near the initial Zombie outbreak or during RIck's coma which I believe was a little over a month.

Theres a lot they could do since it's not following the comics. We can see the first responses to the outbreak, how civilians and the government deal with it. How society just falls apart...etc. It's gonna feel different from the main show.

Aldous_Snow3345d ago

That sounds pretty damn good... thanks

WizzroSupreme3345d ago

They sure seem confident in whatever it is. Guess they know anything zombie-ish will sell.

Soldierone3344d ago

Even if it doesn't touch TWD numbers, it will still hit high numbers so it makes sense to go for it all out like this. Plus it's only 6 episodes per season, so it's not like they ordered 24 episodes, they only ordered 12.

If I'm not mistaken, the TV lineup also doesn't start till AFTER their targeted start date. So their only competition is a bunch of lowly rated summer shows.
