[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”16678″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Despite lower than usual ratings for the AMC hit series, The Walking Dead, there is currently a third show in the works. AMC announced today that the third series is currently in development. The new series will follow The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. During an earnings call AMC COO Ed Carroll dropped the news saying
“We’re not at a stage where we’ll be announcing its plans to premiere, But we have hired creative people that have pitched story outlines. We feel very good about the development of that series. We’re not in a position to talk about partnerships in terms of other territories or ancillary windows, other than that there’s a healthy appetite for it and we’ve had a number of conversations with a lot of players in the space.”
The plans for the Rick Grimes movies are still on going as well which would give AMC 3 shows plus 3 upcoming films all tied to the franchise. Some of you might be reading this and thinking how can this show keep going? Well as stated above, the ratings have dipped this season but Carroll spoke about that as well saying
“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’ve managed that and managed that well, When The Walking Dead is 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’s just a general pattern with any show that’s been around as long as The Walking Dead has.”
No other details have been released about the third series but I do hope it will go international and show more of the world wide aftermath of the zombie outbreak.
How do you feel about a third series? What do you want to see come from it? Drop us a comment below.
