Fear The Walking Dead

The Companion Series is an, as yet unamed, American horror television drama "spinoff" series of the TV Series The Walking Dead. The executive producers are Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert. It is set in the same Zombie Apocalypse universe as The Walking Dead.

Robert Kirkman remarked that the series is "technically not a spin-off," because it doesn't have any characters in common with the original series.

The Companion Series will be unrelated to the Comic Series, different characters, different locations. However, Scott Gimple said in an interview that he "would never say never [to a crossover between the shows]"

The pilot of the series has been commissioned by AMC and is due to air in 2015; it will be written and directed by Adam Davidson.

Casting Call Cast List
This is a cast list based on the original casting call for the pilot. TWD casting calls have used temporary names so, at the very least, it should be regarded as "subject to change".
 * Sean Cabera. A Latino male in his early 40s, Sean is a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life.
 * Cody Cabera.  Sean’s whip-smart and rebellious teenage son. Known as the angriest kid in town.
 * Nancy Tompkins. A thirty-something single mom to two kids, Nancy looks like the girl next door, but there’s an edge to her.
 * Nick Tompkins. Nancy’s screwed up teenage son. He’s too old to stay home, too scared to flee.
 * Ashley Tompkins. Nancy’s mostly level-headed teenage daughter. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her older brother’s failures. She loves her mom but it’s time to get out of Dodge.
 * Andrea Chapman. A somewhat wilted flower child, forty-something Andrea who has retreated to the outskirts of the city to recover after a horrible marriage.

Trivia

 * The Companion series will have different characters - but, like the original series, has a character called Andrea. Or at least that's what they were calling her for the casting call.
 * There has been speculation that the show will be set in Kansas, based on the fact that in the casting call cast list the word "Dodge" is capitalised and could therefore refer to the city.
