AMC Announces Plans for a The Walking Dead Companion Series

I'm kinda against this. I'd be for it if this series was already done. I just hope it doesn't put a strain on continuity/canon, or the creative teams. I can see them being on the west cost, to avoid any run ins or nonsensical cameos. But I can also see the series ending with the two groups meeting. 

That could be a strong possibility. In terms of creativity, they could make the Walking Dead telltale game into a standalone series. It takes place in the same universe and is completely separate from the plot of the existing series.

I just checked and there are currently almost 3500 fanfics on fanfiction.net alone. They could swipe plot lines off of so many stories. lol. Of course half of those fictions are probably made by 12 year old girls that like yaoi.

Telltale's award-winning episodic point-and-click game, The Walking Dead, is "true to every spirit and tenant" of the series, according to AMC's The Walking Dead executive producer David Alpert.

Speaking as part of a 10-year anniversary documentary, Alpert said that the game is "an example" of what his team hopes to do with the TV show. Telltale Games screenwriter and story consultant Gary Whitta called the episodic title "a story experience first and a game experience second."

"The experience feels less like a game and more like an interactive television series," Whitta said. "That's a new kind of art form."

Looks like the video game might be an influence to the new series thats in the works. I doubt it'll be based on the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if they use some of the scenarios from it.

Like cannibals.
