Robert Kirkman Praises Fear The Walking Dead
Fear The Walking Dead is coming in August, but will it build upon what made The Walking Dead so great? In a new press release, creator Robert Kirkman seems to think so. He first praised The Walking Dead and how it delved into the characters we all know and love (and fear), and then mentioned that for Fear The Walking Dead:
“Now we get to introduce you to Madison, Travis, Alicia, Nick, Liza, Chris, Daniel, Ofelia and well… the cast continues to grow each episode… and yes… we do lose a few along the way. But where the ‘exciting’ and ‘new’ comes in… is that these people have their own experiences and reasons to survive. They’re complicated, real characters who will not be dealing with the undead the same way. They’ll learn new things, they’ll find new tools, they’ll learn faster or slower but what we end up with is a very, VERY different show… set in a world we LOVE exploring as much as we’d all NEVER want to live there.”
He then went on to thank those who would give Fear The Walking Dead a chance:
“I want to thank everyone reading this for being at least some small part of helping us grow into ‘The Walking Dead family’… With ‘Fear the Walking Dead,’ that family is growing even more… and I know we’re all going to open our hearts… and guts… to give these new additions a warm welcome,” he concluded.
Fear The Walking Dead arrives August 23rd on AMC.
