AMC’s on top of the television world right now with Mad Men and Breaking Bad as arguably the best shows on TV. So why wouldn’t they one-up HBO’s True Blood with an undead series of their own?
The Walking Dead is based off of Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel series of the same name. It just won the 2010 Eisner Award for Best Ongoing Series. I admit, I never got into the comic, but it’s definitely on my list to start before the show premieres at least.
Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) writes and directs the 90 minute series premiere about surviving the zombie apocalypse in small town middle America.
Check out the awesome trailer above and set your DVR’s for 10pm on Oct 31. (Yeah, I know. I couldn’t have passed up slotting the premiere on Halloween if I was a network executive too.)
I will watch this.
