THE WALKING DEAD Standalone Special Coming Soon
EW recently found out that AMC has a The Walking Dead standalone special in the works, and that it will introduce a character who'll go on to appear in the second season of the new companion series, Fear The Walking Dead. Click the jump for details!
AMC recently aired the first episode of Fear The Walking Dead, the official spin-off series to the smash hit The Walking Dead. Despite only having aired the one episode thus far, EW has confirmed that AMC has a new special coming up that ties into the companion series.
The special will be a thirty minute episode, taking place on an airliner that is midflight when the Walker outbreak begins. Someone needs to get Samuel L. Jackson involved because, yes, the special is essentially Zombies on a Plane. One of the characters who will appear in the special will survive, and they will then appear on the second season of Fear The Walking Dead.
The special will be available online first, and will then be aired in chapters during commercial breaks of The Walking Dead main series. This isn't the first time AMC has used a mini-series of webisodes for The Walking Dead, but it is the first time the format will be used to introduce a character into a main television series set in that universe, and the first time those webisodes will also air on television.
What do you guys think? Are you excited for the miniseries, or will you skip it? Do you like the idea of the new character being introduced via this method, or would you prefer that the whole story be shown on Fear The Walking Dead? Be sure to sound off in the comments below.
