The 5th season of The Walking Dead hasn’t even premiered yet, and it has already been renewed for 6th season. AMC has announced that the zombie apocalypse drama will return with executive producer and showrunner Scott Gimple taking charge once again.
“We could not be more excited for October 12th as we share new episodes of The Walking Dead with fans around the globe,” AMC President Charlie Collier said in a statement. “In advance of Sunday’s season five premiere, AMC proudly confirms a sixth season order of this extraordinary series. Thank you to Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, the terrific executive producers, and the entire team who brings this compelling world and these rich characters to life. There’s plenty more Dead ahead thanks to their impressive, collective effort.”
And for those Walking Dead fans who are looking for a spin-off series, you’re in luck! The pilot is scheduled to shoot in late 2014 and will be set in a new location with new characters. The new series will take a look at the zombie apocalypse in other parts of the world.
Season 5 of The Walking Dead kicks off on Sunday, Oct. 12 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
