Robert Kirkman, the creator of "The Walking Dead" and the upcoming "Fear The Walking Dead" has revealed that the two shows will be very different from each other although the second show is actually a spinoff of the first. The two shows do exist in the same universe but "Fear The Walking Dead" will basically show how the outbreak happened.
"Fear The Walking Dead" will be more of a prequel as according to Uproxx, the new show will be featuring different characters from those who have already appeared on "The Walking Dead." Robert Kirkman was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about the plot of the show and he pointed out that everything that the fans will see in "Fear The Walking Dead" was what happened in the past of the other show.
Robert Kirkman added, "These two shows are very intertwined in the same world, even if their characters aren't necessarily going to interact because of geographical distances." The new series will be tackling the rules regarding the walkers and maybe new ways on how to kill them aside from shooting them in the head will be show in "Fear The Walking Dead."
It would be remembered that during the first season of "The Walking Dead," Rick woke up from being hospitalized then later realizes what happened. He then searches for his family and luckily he does then he becomes the leader of the group that has set up a camp near the city. "Fear The Walking Dead" will be rewinding from there and showing what really happened before the outbreak.
Kirkman did not give away any more information regarding the plot of the spinoff and how the storyline will be progressing but from the interview, fans will be able to expect a much more different angle than what the current show has already shown.
"Fear The Walking Dead" will be hitting your T.V. screens this summer so watch out for it on AMC. The first season of the show will have six one-hour episodes and the second season will be coming on 2016.
