There’s a lot of mystery surrounding The Walking Dead spin-off series, but at least now we know the pilot will be in good hands.
Academy Award-winning director Adam Davidson will be helming the first episode of the new series. Davidson’s other TV directing credits include Hell On Wheels, Community, Lost and Fringe.
Character details for the spin-off were also released earlier this month. Check them out below:
SEAN CABRERA A Latino male in his early 40s, Sean is a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life.
CODY CABRERA Sean’s whip-smart and rebellious teenage son. Known as the angriest kid in town.
NANCY TOMPKINS A thirtysomething single mom to two kids, Nancy looks like the girl next door, but there’s an edge to her.
NICK TOMPKINS Nancy’s screwed up teenage son. He’s too old to stay home, too scared to flee.
ASHLEY TOMPKINS Nancy’s mostly level-headed teenage daughter. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her older brother’s failures. She loves her mom but it’s time to get out of Dodge.
ANDREA CHAPMAN A somewhat wilted flower child, fortysomething Andrea — yep, another Andrea! — has retreated to the outskirts of the city to recover after a horrible marriage.
The Walking Dead Season 5 is currently airing on Mondays at 10 pm on FOX. You can buy The Walking Dead Season 1-3 on DVD for £35 at Amazon.co.uk. Get a behind-the-scenes look at The Walking Dead with the latest issue of SciFiNow.
