SpaceChampion Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So the companion series is a prequel, set in L.A. and will apparently be called The Walking Dead: Cobalt. The Walking Dead prequel is also currently casting a number of supporting roles:Cody: Sean’s son, who resents his father for splitting from his mother; he is described as the angriest kid in town.Andrea: Sean’s ex-wife, who moved with Cody to the outskirts of L.A.; she is best described as a flower child.Matt: Ashley’s jock boyfriend.Art: The principal at the school where both Sean and Nancy work, who has concerns about the bizarre outbreak featured on the local news.Tobias: A wise-beyond-his-years senior at the school who believes the outbreak is Doomsday.Casper: Nick’s drug-dealing best friend. Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis cast as the lead, Sean Cabrera. Too little info to sound interesting yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red snow Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Doesn't seem very prequel ish unless they merely mean it's set before current events in the parent show. I certainly hope it doesn't dwell on pre-apocalypse although I'm ok with during the apocalypse as we never saw that in the parent show. Is there a premiere date yet? I hope it runs in between blocks of Walking dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Now it's being said that the title is confirmed "Fear The Walking Dead" but I've also heard the confirmations are not confirmed. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pecan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I guess we still don't know when it will air. I was hoping they'd make it a summer series, but given that they haven't completed casting yet, it seems likely it'll run in the fall or maybe as a mid-season entry in January 2016. Anyway, I love The Walking Dead, so I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChampion Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Apparently one of the spinoff's character will appear in TWD in a 6-episode arc of the 6th season. Meaning that character survives the L.A. events and makes his/her way to the East to encounter Rick's group however many years later this is.

First of My Name Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm eager to see this. I hope we get to see the actual start of the ZA, and the unraveling of society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'll give it a shot. We'll - give - it -a - shot! (WHoa) Will we be able to discuss it all together seeming though there isn't a comic based on this (yet)? Or is there a chance those comic readers may still be using their inside knowledge to predict events? Apparently one of the spinoff's character will appear in TWD in a 6-episode arc of the 6th season. Meaning that character survives the L.A. events and makes his/her way to the East to encounter Rick's group however many years later this is. Is that prior to the spin-off airing? It would make sense to give folk a reason to check the spin-off out on the off-chance "more zombies" isn't enough. It would be a bit of spoiler though.

I think they'll just use the announcement to stir interest in the spin-off, rather than spoiling part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Doesn't seem very prequel ish unless they merely mean it's set before current events in the parent show. I certainly hope it doesn't dwell on pre-apocalypse although I'm ok with during the apocalypse as we never saw that in the parent show. If the character descriptions in the quote in the OP are anything to go by it certainly sounds like a prequel, being that it is peri-apocalyptic rather than strictly post-apocalyptic. I don't see where they're going to go with a show like this. Sure, while the series meanders along before the shit totally hits the fan there is a point of difference to the main series. But it can't carry on in a pre-apocalyptic state for more than a season, season 2 can be the apocalypse as it happen with attempts at keeping the zombie horde at bay, with cycles of finding a safe military enclave, seeming to be safe and hopeful for a while, beating back waves of zombies and several scenes of "I think we're going to be OK" and then everything falling apart, running away and finding another military enclave. But after Season 2 when the world enters the post apocalyptic phase what are they going to do that's fundamentally different to TWD? I hope at least Cliff gets 2 and a bit seasons of work before yet another cancellation, instead of the one season lemons he's had to endure so far.

Ser Cold Fingers Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Not sure how I feel about this. I am going to give it a shot. I have faith they can do it right. We've been hearing rumors for a long while now...and it has taken this long to get details. So it doesn't feel like a rushed decision/money grab.
