KONG: SKULL ISLAND director Jordan Vogt-Roberts is set to direct the pilot episode of a new Walking Dead spin-off that is set to reach AMC sometime in the spring of 2020. The details we had heard of this show weren't very appealing to me at first, but the involvement of Vogt-Roberts has boosted my interest, and now an intriguing teaser trailer has arrived online.
Co-created by Scott M. Gimple and showrunner Matt Negrete, this new series, which doesn't have an official title yet, will center on
two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.
The cast includes Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, Aliyah Royale, and Annet Mahendru.
Those cast members can be seen in the teaser embedded below, which also features some very cool concept art. I don't even know what's going on in some of this art, but I have officially gone from being indifferent about the show to being excited to see the images brought to life on the screen, and in context, when this series makes its debut.
