New Footage from AMC’s The Walking Dead

September 26, 2010 by Bill

AMC has released a new preview of the upcoming television series The Walking Dead. Based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, which we looked at a few episodes ago, the show follows Sheriff Rick Grimes and a group of survivors as they deal with the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. And we all know how one of those can ruin your weekend.

Although AMC has only recently started developing original programming, they’ve had a great track record with the few shows they have (Mad Men, Breaking Bad) so I’m looking forward to see what they do with this property. The video gives us a behind the scenes look at the show including interviews with the actors and producers who share their thoughts on working on the project. The show stars Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, and Steven Yeun. Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) is also on board as executive producer, writer and director. The Walking Dead premieres on AMC October 31 at 10pm EST.
