There’s no standing still for the dead.
Ratings for The Walking Dead may have reached a series low of late, but producers know when they’ve stumbled upon a hit.
As season 10 of the AMC series prepares to premiere later this year, the network has announced that a spin-off is in the works.
This will not be the first series which the zombie show has spawned. Fear the Walking Dead, featuring a new set of characters, debuted in 2015 and will see its fifth season later this year.
Chief Operating Officer of AMC, Ed Carroll, has now confirmed that a third apocalyptic outing is in “active development”: “We’re not at a stage where we’ll be announcing its plans to premiere,” Carroll said. “But we have hired creative people that have pitched story outlines. We feel very good about the development of that series. We’re not in a position to talk about partnerships in terms of other territories or ancillary windows, other than that there’s a healthy appetite for it and we’ve had a number of conversations with a lot of players in the space.”
We can’t wait to sink our teeth in.
