Gone Girl standout Kim Dickens has been tapped as the female lead opposite Cliff Curtis in the pilot for The Walking Dead companion series at AMC. Dickens landed the female lead after a lengthy casting process, with AMC testing a number of actresses for the role.
The untitled Walking Dead spinoff, code name Cobalt, takes place during the same zombie apocalypse depicted in the blockbuster mothership series but in a different location. It revolves around a divorced teacher (Curtis) and a guidance counselor (Dickens), who are working together and are in a relationship. The counselor has two children from a previous marriage, played by Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey. She looks like the girl next door but has a darkness to her, a troubled past that will come back to haunt her.

Can't wait for the series but nothing can compare to the walking dead I really hope it's more action than drama because the looks of it aren't looking so good.
ReplyDeleteIs this setting still in the United States then? Not much incentive to watch that. Maybe if it had a setting in another country.
ReplyDeleteI would've like to have seen what was going on in Europe or China.
ReplyDeleteAnything I'm reading about this sounds boring. I would hope there would be some zombie action. If this is just a drama where all they do is sit around taking about their feelings and once in awhile a zombie walks by, I might end up skipping it.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I am not excited for this one! I agree that if it was in a completely different country then yes but not if its in the US
ReplyDeleteZ Nation has so much more zombie action. I can't wait till season 2. This new Walking Dead spinoff, I don't know. I already don't like the character descriptions. And not sure I like the location either.
ReplyDeleteI haven't given it a chance yet because everyone is saying that it is a cheap knock off. Do you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteIt gets really good. Like the last ep was great. It has alot of cheeze, but it's got great zombie action and fun scenes. Try it. Really, you might find after a few eps, you like it better than Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteOkay thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much more than a "knock-off". It's funny and gory. I really enjoy it.
