AMC Orders Third ‘Walking Dead- Series

AMC has commissioned a third (and untitled) scripted series set in “The Walking Dead” universe.  According to the network, the series “will feature two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.”

The series was created by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple and “The Walking Dead” writer/producer Matt Negrete, who will act as showrunner and will start production on 10 episodes this summer in Virginia to premiere in 2020.

Chances of characters crossing over a la “Fear The Walking Dead” and the parent series are likely, but nothing is confirmed at press time.
