AMC today announced that it has placed an initial two-season order for a companion series to The Walking Dead, the #1 show on television among adults 18-49 for going on three seasons.

The new series (title to be announced) will be set in Los Angeles and focused on new characters and storylines. The show’s first season will consist of six one-hour episodes and premiere on AMC in late summer. The show’s second season will air in 2016.

Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert from The Walking Dead are executive producers of the new series, which, like the original, is being produced by AMC Studios. Dave Erickson (Marco Polo, Sons of Anarchy), who co-created and co-wrote the pilot with Kirkman, is an Executive Producer and Showrunner. The series will star Cliff Curtis (Missing, Gang Related), Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, Sons of Anarchy), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm).

The Walking Dead: Los Angeles - will watch.

Honestly the walking dead producers/amc could have multiple spinoffs with different locales ala CSI.

I'm not really down with this.

And six-episode seasons? WT absolute F? It seems like they're getting shorter and shorter.

I'm sure I will watch it. I'm a bit skeptical though.

They would have all the zombies rounded up and competing against humans on their game shows.

Contest examples:
-Eat the pudding this zombie just walked through
-Pin the nipple clip on the zombie without getting bitten and without tearing the nipple off
-How fast can you spin a greased zombie?

You get the idea.

The first season was pretty short.

Walking Dead: China would be a nightmare scenario given the huge population.

The Walking Dead: Castaway

Tom Hanks plays a man stranded on a deserted island who is being hunted by a volleyball with a taste for human brains.

6 episodes?

Cool. No more stretching shite out . . . these should be good, with a lot of action. I'd love to see some celebrity zombies in LA too. Ha.
