If you're like me you are counting the days or should I say months down to the start of the new season of The Walking Dead. I can't believe we still have a four month wait, the show returns in October. There has been talk that a trailer will be released some time in July (fingers crossed).
In a recent Produced By panel appearance at a Producers Guild
event, someone asked
“Walking Dead” producer David Alpert how he feels about working with "pre-existing" material and the challenges of adapting a
long-lasting, successful comic book for television
material for the series.
According to Alpert, using
Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead comic series as a template for the
show has laid the ground work for many more seasons to come.“I happen to love working from source material, specifically
because we have a pretty good idea of what season 10 is gonna be,” Alpert said. “We know where season 11 and 12… we have benchmarks and
milestones for those seasons if we’re lucky enough to get there.”
Given the show’s exceptional ratings, The Walking Dead won’t go
anywhere as long as the audience continues to grow and watch. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the AMC will keep it around for a very long time. I realize there is nothing I can write my fellow Dead Lovers that will make the
wait more durable. So I'm guessing you are a bit starved by now and
possibly looking at old episodes. Here's a video of the cast talking
about the upcoming season. I hope this takes some of the sting away Cast Chat Enjoy!
