News
from all three (yes, I said three) Walking Dead TV shows and a movie: the third
Dead show will have a first episode directed by Kong: Skull Island’s Jordan
Vogt-Roberts. The show will center around two young female protagonists and
focus on the first generation to grown up during what they think is the end of
the world. The show has no name as of yet but has been given a ten-episode order
and will air Spring 2020. Fear the Walking Dead has been renewed for a sixth
season and will add Colby Minifie, Peter Jacobson, and Colby Hollman to the
cast. The second half of the fifth season is running right now. And the main
show will return for its tenth season on October 6th. The cast will grow with
the addition of Thora Birch as a Whisperer named Gamma and Kevin Carol as Virgil
but Danai Gurira will leave after the season. She will appear in a handful of
episodes. And finally those three Walking Dead films starring Andrew Lincoln
will run in movie theaters and not on TV. Universal will pick up the cost for
the films. In other Dead news David Madden, president of programming at AMC,
told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour that the show
could run for the next ten years. The Walking Dead happens to be the second
biggest show on TV and ratings are steady enough to suggest a longer life than
we thought.
