Gale Anne Hurd has revealed that the spin-off series from AMC's The Walking Dead is still in the very early stages of development - to the extent that there is still no "concept" in terms of plot, characters, setting etc.
"That's still being batted around," she explained to MTV. "It's very early in the process."
It's understandable enough that this is causing the production team some problems - it's very hard to come up with anything fresh enough to make a second show worthwhile (i.e. something other than "Walking Dead In Another Country" or "Walking Dead With Different Characters" or "Walking Dead In Space" - actually, that last one sounds ace...) But, if there's nothing but the "Hey, let's do a spin-off to The Walking Dead" idea actually doing the rounds, why make any announcement about it so early?
"We realised it was likely to leak the minute we started initial discussions," she said. "And that's why the announcement was made."
Sounds like a few guns may have been jumped here. But the new show isn't expected until 2015, so they've plenty of time to come up with something great.
The Walking Dead's fourth season begins in the US on AMC on October 13 and will air in the UK on FOX on October 18.
