The Walking Dead is one of the biggest shows on TV, so understandably AMC want to keep it in your consciousness as much as possible, and have devised a way of doing so during the summer. Fear The Walking Dead, a companion series to the main show, will take place before the events we see in season 1 of that, when Rick Grimes is still in a coma. Itll be set in Los Angeles, and show just what the world looks like as it is descending into a zombie apocalypse. Kim Dickens and Cliff Curtis will star as a guidance counsellor and teacher respectively, and its said to focus more on family rather than a disparate group of survivors. Meanwhile plenty of the behind-the-scenes team from The Walking Dead, including creator Robert Kirkman and special effects guru Greg Nicotero. While there does feel like a bit of missed opportunity with this show, as it wouldve been exciting to see it explore the outbreak on a more global scale, the chance to delve deeper into the world and see another side of things is still a very tantalising prospect.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
