Update: 10:20 SpoilerTV have confirmed that the title of Spinoff will be called "Fear The Walking Dead". Below is the show synopsis.
Or at least that’s the pilot episode’s name, in this September 2014 script. You be the judge.pilot
Things may change.
Written by Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman and Low Winter Sun‘s writer/producer Dave Erickson, if you want to know nothing about this AMC show stop right no. You have no need to read further.
The Walking Dead, both in comics and in TV, jumped forward. When Rick Grimes woke in the hospital, the zombie infection had happened, society, civilisation had collapsed, the survivors were trying to deal with the aftermath, pick up the pieces and survive – with the realisation that their imminent death was just around the corner. They had become the walking dead of the title.
This is not that show, at least not in the pilot script. The intro gives you a swerve, but the infection has not taken hold yet. The “walkers” are not yet known to the population at large, as society stands on the cusp of its own destruction.
