Fans of The Walking Dead will have twice the zombies to fear next fall when a new companion series (tentatively called Fear The Walking Dead) debuts on AMC, just in time for The Walking Dead’s sixth season.
The network has already ordered two seasons of the series that will follow a new group of characters right in the beginning of the outbreak. Kim Dickens is set to star as a guidance counselor and mother of two teenagers, played by Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey. Cliff Curtis will also star as a “good-hearted” 40-something dad.
As Robert Kirkman explains, the show will run parallel with The Walking Dead. “It’s not going to relate to the comics at all,” Kirkman said. “The new show is to expand that world and show another corner of the United States and what’s happening there.”
The Walking Dead companion series is set in Los Angeles, where the pilot was filmed earlier this year, but the majority of seasons 1 and 2 will be shot in Vancouver, beginning in April.
“The production will be based in Vancouver with significant filming also occurring in Los Angeles,” an AMC spokesperson told RadioTimes.com.
