AMC orders a “Walking Dead” companion series pilot
The new series will be set in the same “zombie-plagued universe,” but in a different location with an entirely new cast. “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,” says AMC President Charlie Collier. “In fact, beyond requests for zombie cameos, it”s the question I get asked the most.”
