Re: AMC Developing The Walking Dead Spin-Off
EXCLUSIVE: Gone Girl standout Kim Dickens has been tapped as the female lead opposite Cliff Curtis in the pilot for The Walking Dead companion series at AMC. The project was created by Robert Kirkman, on whose graphic novel The Walking Dead was based, and Dave Erickson, with Adam Davidson set to direct. Dickens landed the female lead after a lengthy casting process, with AMC testing a number of actresses for the role.
The untitled Walking Dead spinoff, code name Cobalt, takes place during the same zombie apocalypse depicted in the blockbuster mothership series but in a different location. It revolves around a divorced teacher (Curtis) and a guidance counselor (Dickens), who are working together and are in a relationship. The counselor has two children from a previous marriage, played by Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey. She looks like the girl next door but has a darkness to her, a troubled past that will come back to haunt her.
In addition to David Fincher’s hit thriller Gone Girl, Treme and Deadwood, Dickens recently recurred on FX’s Sons Of Anarchy. She is with Gersh.

Some of it got removed by request already, but you can still find some details as linked on that page.

Re: AMC Developing The Walking Dead Spin-Off
What are the odds of this becoming the Law and Order: SVU of the franchise? (Meaning a spinoff that eclipses its source material.)
I don't know that it will, but it has potential if it takes advantage of its place. While I'm not keen on the teen-centric rumors or it being set in LA, it has some advantages. Not only can it learn from the criticisms of TWD, but it doesn't have the shadow of its source material hanging over its head.

I think it's too late. Just look at the posts in the TWD thread. It's nothing like it was. The fad's becoming a walking dead itself.

If the spin-off starts while the zombie apocalypse is starting, it could have some potential. I hope it's not pure prequel, but having a season devoted to the start of everything could be cool.

That's a pretty uninteresting title.
BTW, considering the "Walking Dead" are the humans and NOT the zombies, does that mean this new group is trouble?
