The Walking Dead Fear the Walking Dead General Discussion Thread

Still though, 6 episodes is a cakewalk compared to a full 16 episode season. I don't think it's burning people out of this franchise just yet.

 

[Evelisse]

I'm just happy it's coming in the summer, and hope it stays somewhat like that, to fill that gap til October. They wouldn't have to worry too much about trying to gain fans on a new day of the week, can keep it Sunday nights which most are already used to.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'm kinda shocked we didn't get a preview of this or a clip on Talking Dead. They missed a golden opportunity there.

 

[Sawyer]

I feel the same.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I wonder if they'll have Talking Dead after each episode of the spin-off. I hope so. I love after shows. I wish Better Call Saul and Justified had them.

 

[Kane52630]

The Insider Podcast for Better Call Saul is pretty much their aftershow (and done better btw).

[Rowsdower!]

Ah, cool. Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

 

[Kane52630]

No problem, they started doing that ever since season 2 of Breaking Bad.

OMG, Los Angeles, what a creative choice of location.

If only they could get some well known celebrities to guest star just to be attacked or see what they did trying to fight back against the walkers during the outbreak then it would be very entertaining.

In season 4 of the walking dead we got to see a glimpse of the super flu.This is gonna be cool to see how this new flu made half the population sick,die,then come back as walkers.This is how the world ended so fast.

Marco Ramirez's (Sons of Anarchy, OITNB, Da Vinci's Demons, Daredevil) Twitter bio says he's writing for this.

 

[Sawyer]

I was wondering how the writers room for this first season would turn out. I'm even more interested to see what it looks like for the second season, considering it'll probably be given a fuller order of episodes. And especially because of how much turnover there was on TWD between S1 and S2. Mazzara is the only one who made it to the second season, other than Darabont himself (and even he was gone midway through S2).

 

[Man in the Suit]

I found this casting call and Jack LoGiudice (TWD season 1, SOA) & David Wiener (The Killing) are listed along with Kirkman, Erickson, and Ramierz.

[Sawyer]

Quite a few SOA writers. Makes sense, with the showrunner coming from that show.

Alycia Debnam Carey, when she was on The 100:

The 100 is a great show that airs on The CW. The first season is on Netflix if you have it. She is so hot. Alycia was also in that movie Into The Storm last year.

NEW YORK &#8211; May 11, 2015 &#8211; AMC announced today the start of production on its highly anticipated new series, &#8220;Fear the Walking Dead,&#8221; in Vancouver. Additional filming will also take place in Los Angeles at a later date.

A companion series to &#8220;The Walking Dead,&#8221; the #1 show on television among adults 18-49, &#8220;Fear the Walking Dead&#8221; is executive produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert and showrunner David Erickson and produced by AMC Studios. Co-Executive Producer Adam Davidson, who directed the pilot, is also directing the second and third episodes. The series&#8217; first season, consisting of six one-hour episodes, will premiere on AMC in late summer.

&#8220;&#8216;Fear the Walking Dead&#8217; takes us back to the earlier, more dangerous, more terrifying days of &#8216;The Walking Dead,&#8217;&#8221; said Kirkman. &#8220;A time when danger was lurking around every corner and the thing mostly likely to get you killed was your own ignorance of the rapidly changing world around you. The stakes are going to be higher and the ride more intense. We're going to show people all the insanity of civilization crumbling that Rick Grimes slept through. Buckle up."


&#8220;I could not be more thrilled to be continuing on this apocalyptic journey, dramatizing the horrific disintegration of society through the lens of a dysfunctional family. We've assembled a stellar cast and crew to tell our story -- it's going to be a great ride,&#8221; said Erickson.

&#8220;Fear the Walking Dead,&#8221; which is set in Los Angeles and focuses on new characters and storylines, stars Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, &#8220;Sons of Anarchy&#8221 as Madison, Cliff Curtis (&#8220;Missing,&#8221; &#8220;Gang Related&#8221 as Travis, Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) as Nick and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Into the Storm) as Alicia. Also joining the cast as series regulars are Elizabeth Rodriguez (&#8220;Orange is the New Black&#8221 as Liza and Mercedes Mason (Quarantine 2: Terminal) as Ofelia.
