According to AMC Networks COO Ed Carroll, the new show is in &#8220;active development&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re not at a stage where we\u2019ll be announcing its plans to premiere,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But we have hired creative people that have pitched story outlines. We feel very good about the development of that series. We\u2019re not in a position to talk about partnerships in terms of other territories or ancillary windows, other than that there\u2019s a healthy appetite for it and we\u2019ve had a number of conversations with a lot of players in the space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carroll wouldn&#8217;t reveal any more about the upcoming project though, and declined to confirm whether or not the show would fall under an existing distribution agreement with Hulu.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes midway-through the airing of\u00a0<em><strong>The Walking Dead<\/strong><\/em>&#8216;s ninth season, which has already seen a fair few major names leave the show, like Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Lauren Cohen (Maggie Greene). However, Lincoln is set to move on to star in a series of\u00a0<em><strong>The Walking Dead<\/strong><\/em> TV movies alongside Danai Gurira (Michonne).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are well aware that when a show has been around for nine years, you would expect viewership to be declining, but I think we\u2019ve managed that and managed that well,&#8221; Carroll continued.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When\u00a0<strong><em>The Walking Dead<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is no longer part of the channel, I think that will have more of an impact on revenue than on [income] because generally expenses go up as the seasons continue and viewership declines. That\u2019s just a general pattern with any show that\u2019s been around as long as\u00a0<strong><em>The Walking Dead<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Walking Dead<\/strong><\/em><strong> Series 9 is currently airing on Sundays on FOX in the UK.
