"The Walking Dead" spinoff entitled "Fear The Walking Dead" was recently confirmed by ABC. Ahead of its release, there have been multiple reports revealing the possible plot of the upcoming series.
According to Melty, "Fear the Walking Dead" will chronicle the life of the characters prior to the virus outbreak that took place in "The Walking Dead." The series will also reportedly focus on how the families in California would react to news about the virus. Additionally, the same groups of people and their first reactions to the existence of the walkers will also take center stage in the spinoff, Ecumenical News reported.
However, fans who are hoping to know the origin of the virus will be disappointed because Movie Pilot recently confirmed that "Fear the Walking Dead" will not tackle this storyline. Robert Kirkman, the author of the original comic series previously confirmed that he knows the origin of the virus but revealed that he never really thought about writing the story for television.
Meanwhile, according to executive producer Greg Nicotero, the "Fear the Walking Dead" will be nothing like "The Walking Dead" in terms of the characters, the setting and the plot.
In other news, a behind-the-scenes video from the set of "Fear the Walking Dead" has been made available online. In the short clip, fans of the AMC series could gain insight as to how Dave Erickson, the series show runner and one of the chief executives could work closely with Kirkman in making sure that the series would live up to all the hype it is currently receiving, Cartermatt noted.
As of late, not much has been disclosed yet as to when the series will be released, but the same publication noted that "Fear the Walking Dead" could be released sometime this summer. "Fear the Walking Dead" has tapped Frank Dillane, Ruben Blades, Kim Dickens, Alycia Debnam Carey and a whole lot more to join the show.
