THE WALKING DEAD Spinoff Setting Revealed
We know AMC's The Walking Dead is set in and around Atlanta, but what about the planned spinoff series (tentatively titled "Cobalt") that's currently in the works? TV Line have discovered the location, and it should make for a very interesting take on the zombie apocalypse..
Hollywood zombies? Over the past couple of weeks, casting details for the planned The Walking Dead spinoff series have begun to surface, and now TV Line have learned where this new story set in the aftermath of an undead outbreak will take place: Los Angeles. Since The Walking Dead first premièred fans have wondered how the rest of the world was dealing with the zombie apocalypse, and though this new series won't take things too far afield, there's no doubt that an LA setting has the potential to show us how a VERY different group of individuals are handling the walkers. The show is penned by showrunner Dave Erickson and TWD comic creator Robert Kirkman, and word is it will actually be a prequel dealing with the early days of the epidemic...though that hasn't been confirmed. So far the cast includes Cliff Curtis (Sunshine), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (McLeod’s Daughters).
