According to Nerdist, the title of The Walking Dead spinoff is Fear The Walking Dead. The site further reports that one of the lead characters from Fear The Walking Dead will be featured in a six episode arc in season 6 of The Walking Dead. This implies that either season 6 will feature flashbacks or we'll see future, grittier versions of Fear The Walking Dead's cast. If this rumor proves true, it's probably more likely that season 6 will feature flashbacks as I can't imagine Robert Kirkman and AMC spoiling who lives and dies on the spinoff before the pilot airs.
We already know that the spinoff takes place during the time that Rick was in a coma during the early days of the zombie plague outbreak. Fear The Walking Dead's cast includes Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey. Adam Davidson is directing the pilot.
The Walking Dead spinoff is expected to premiere some time in 2015.
