While everyone is waiting for the October 7 to see the start of the season 9 of the Walking Dead, announced as the most important of the series so far, here is the channel AMC farts a cable and he foresees a future of more ambitious.

However, we should not be surprised, since its inception, The Walking Dead has always been thought of as the money machine of the network, AMC, a series produced 100% by the network, unlike Mad Men or Breaking Bad in their time, and probably, the spearhead of the entire group.

Because, it must be confessed, who can name another series AMC that the Walking Dead currently ? And no, Fear the Walking Dead, it does not count on a band of crafty. Go may be Better Call Saul, we’ll grant you that, but it doesn’t do much.

Return to the source for season 9 ?

That said, the season 9 is expected to change a lot of things since, already, in addition to the new showrunneuse Angela Kang, the series will be losing two of its leading figures, as Lauren Cohan (Maggie) and Andrew Lincoln (Rick) will throw the sponge at the end of this new batch of episodes. A double start that, far from handicapping the series, should give him a boost essential , especially as the chain has planned to continue the adventures of the survivors for at least a decade. Without a good laugh.

Two of the stars on the start

But, AMC is pursuing other ambitions for Walking Dead, such as comes of to reveal the pattern of the network at the micro Bloomberg. In fact, AMC plans to develop several parallel series and even movies to a destination of streaming services. Of course, the nature of these projects has not yet been unveiled, but it seems that at least one of the spin-offs contemplated takes place in a country other than the USA.

This is Scott M. Gimple, the former showrunner of the series, which has been designated to oversee the various strands of narrative to the study of as much as AMC is now fully owner of the trademark Walking Dead as Joe Sapan said :

But life goes on

“To have this content, let’s call it the Walking Dead Fear the Walking Dead, we can determine its destiny, so we can direct it according to our choice. If we do so he will have a long life, this does not mean that it will always look like a tv series.”

In short, the Walking Dead, we will still eat over several generations and we don’t really know if this is also good news that it. Need to see already in what state our Simon is going to finish the season 9…
