Earlier this year, AMC announced that they are working on a spin-off show to their hugely popular Walking Dead series.
Now, TVLine are reporting that the show might well "be a prequel of sorts, one that would chronicle the early days of the epidemic and the effort to contain it.".
Creator Robert Kirkman previously told IGN that the new series would be set in a different location and would feature completely different people. "It definitely won’t be set in Georgia… It’s important to us that this show exists on its own. The spin-off has to be a show worthy of existing, or else we've all sold out."
If this is to be a prequel, then the timescale of the series would surely be a bit limited, what with the main series only kicking off a few months into the outbreak. Unless they plan on holding back the zombie outbreak for a while, maybe as a season finale type thing...
Prequel shows seem to be the next big thing, with AMC recently announcing Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul, and Kurt Sutter announcing his plans to create a First Nine series when Sons Of Anarchy finishes.
The Walking Dead's fourth season is currently airing on Sunday nights on AMC in the States, and on Friday nights on FOX in the UK.
