Tyrese is a badass with that hammer. He might as well be wielding the Mjolnir.

Or is it someone on the outside...? The Governor trying to use zombie power to knock down the fences?

I loved the Season 4 teaser. I can hardly wait!! Looks like the zombies are decaying a lot more.

Sorry I don't know how to embed this video. Cast and crew share their thoughts on season 4.

The Walking Dead as a property is kicking off its tenth anniversary celebration by infesting the world with more zombies than ever. While the fourth season of the record-setting TV series is set to premiere in October, AMC has announced a second series set in the world of Rick, the Governor, and the walkers has been greenlit for development.

Creator Robert Kirkman, as well as series executive producers Gale Ann Hurd and David Alpert, will serve as EPs on the new show as well, and are aiming for a 2015 release. Kirkman confirmed that the series will featurea all-new characters.

That doesn't sound like a spin-off when it's the main characters starring in it.

I think it is all new characters, the article is written poorly to reflect that though.

Likely a different group of people in the same world.

Yeah it's the same world, but has nothing to do with the comics or characters in them.

Probably similar to how the video game was, except the new show likely won't have any cameos from comic book characters.

I think it would a cool to see more of the story as the infection begins. For example Shane once said something like "it started out as just some crazy stories on the news." And while we have seen some flashbacks, most of the story has taken place long after the hard decisions have been made.

I can't imagine when it is all starting having to be one of the first people to decide to try and shoot what you belive are still "people."

AMC must be pretty desperate for programming with all the spin-offs they are attempting. Well I guess better these than the normal crap on television. I am sure we'll all give these series a try at bare minimum.

TV has never been better than the last few years. Yes, there is a lot of crap out there, but there's also a great deal of quality shows as well. 95 percent of them are on cable, but they do exist.

If you made the case for normal crap on film, I'd get on board with that. I vastly prefer TV shows to movies these days.

You've got a couple sure-fire ratings hits with a Walking Dead and Breaking Bad spinoffs. If they're done right, they could give them another few seasons of hits. It's a the smart move by execs.

Hopefully they continue to test out new original programming. I liked The Killing and Rubicon but I they're probably considered "misses" by most people.

Walking Dead isn't even close to Breaking Bad though. Kirkman should have done what Gilligan did and have an ending in mind.

Even the comics are gettting stale. Well what you expect when Kirkman started this off as a never ending zombie story....

The comics are painfully slow at this point.. much slower than the TV show.

I tend to wait 3-4 months to read them and at least then something will happen in that 4 issue time period. It has been redundant for a while now, I hope the show just goes off on a completely different tangent.

It's obvious that Kirkman writes for the the trade paperbacks and not for the single issue stories. That's where he makes the "big money" in terms of comics.

For a spin-off, I think a time skip maybe 10-15 years into the future would actually be quite cool. Even better if the prime version lasts 6-8 seasons and slowly catches up to the spin-off.
